Sempreviva Organização Feminista (SOF)

Sempreviva Organização Feminista (Sempreviva Feminist Organisation, SOF) is an NGO based in São Paulo that is part of the women's movement in Brazil and internationally. SOF focuses on advising women's and mixed organisations, social movements, and government agencies; they train and strengthen groups and social leaders, and participate in feminist social movements. For SOF, it is essential to strengthen and expand the number of women leaders who can conduct further training at the local level; they do so in order to enhance the number of women leaders who can influence the direction of Brazilian society towards gender equality.
