Miradas Moradas: feminist journalism to understand the region
Puntos de Encuentro's feminist digital magazine produces in-depth journalism on the rights of women and LGBTIQ+ people in Central America — including in contexts where reporting means protecting sources, testimonies and authorship.
What we do
A contribution to communication among women in the movements
Miradas Moradas was born as a meeting point for women from diverse movements and LBTIQ+ activists across Central America. It publishes features, chronicles, profiles and analysis in sections such as Rostros de mujeres, Diversas, Centroamericanas, A tu salud, Juntas and Documentación, plus a feminist glossary and a commitment to collaborative journalism.
Its monthly newsletter Otras Miradas reaches readers throughout the region and the diaspora, with a 29.7% open rate in the first half of 2026.
How we work
In-depth journalism in contexts that make it hard
Miradas Moradas publishes from Central America, a region where reporting on the rights of women and LGBTIQ+ people can cost the safety of the person who signs the story. That is why the magazine works by its own rules:
- Protection before visibility. Sources, testimonies and bylines are safeguarded when the context demands it; some pieces run unsigned or under a pseudonym, and no image is published without consent.
- Verification and context. Every feature cross-checks official data, studies and voices from the territory; health topics are reviewed with specialists.
- Collaborative journalism. Stories are produced with the Central American Network of Young Communicators and with allied journalists and collectives from the five countries.
- Free distribution. All articles are open access; the monthly newsletter Otras Miradas brings them to readers across the region and the diaspora in the United States.
In 2026 the magazine launched its first podcast, produced by Gabriela Paz, to tell the story of the women's movement in El Salvador in the voices of its protagonists. Every gift to the Foundation funds hours of reporting, editing, digital protection and paywall-free distribution.
