Taller Permanente de la Mujer association
The association Taller Permanente de la Mujer is a non governmential organization dedicated to advocating the rights of women in Argentina. It began its work in 1988, addressing issues such as health, population, reproductive rights, domestic violence, work and culture. Throughout these 20 years it developed courses, seminars and workshops and published many manuals and materials. In 1995, three of the founding members of the association decided to pursue a project to highlight the fight against discrimination of women and thus was born the Women's Bookstore, one of 62 libraries in the world specializing in books and writings “by” and “for” women. The Women's Bookstore is currently a joint meeting place of many organizations, also maintains a documentation center and a publishing house with the same name.
