Our experience
Carrying out projects that aim to improve quality of life is a complex process that requires the voice and experience of the people involved, the understanding of local contexts, the knowledge and analysis of historical inequalities, the recognition of the intersectionalities involved, and a deep exercise of empathy.
The need to address human rights issues and social impact in a different way, promoting the effective participation of communities, is what motivated us to create Pur-ple.
Working for more than 16 years in the field of human rights in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, these are some of the co-founders results:

We are an interdisciplinary team – anthropologists, lawyers, sociologists, political scientists, economists, communicators – with vast experience in working with women, children and adolescents, migrants and refugees, people with disabilities, the LGBTIQ+ population, human rights defenders, indigenous peoples, afro-descendants, among others.
Our team specializes in the design, implementation and evaluation of projects and public policies from a human rights approach.
