The Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres (FCAM) or Central American Women's Fund is a feminist organisation supporting women's rights in Central America, based in Nicaragua.[1][2] FCAM is the first and only foundation in Central America, focused on resourcing grassroots women's organisations.[3] As a women's fund, it works towards guaranteeing women's human rights through physical and emotional integrity, economic justice, and political participation. FCAM provides money, capacity building, and opportunities for the defence and promotion of human rights.[4]
