About Isis
 
We are a feminist NGO dedicated to women's information and communication needs. Documenting ideas and visions. Creating channels to communicate. Collecting and moving information. Networking and building links. We focus on those advancing women's rights, leadership and empowerment in Asia and the Pacific. With connections in over 150 countries, we also keep up with changing trends and analyses concerning women worldwide.

Our past . Isis International was formed in 1974 to: create opportunities for women's voices to be heard, strengthen feminist analyses through information exchange, promote solidarity and support feminist movements across the globe. Starting in Rome, Italy, and Geneva, Switzerland, today Isis International has three independent offices in Asia (Manila, Philippines), Africa (Kampala, Uganda) and Latin America (Santiago, Chile), reflecting a commitment towards South-South cooperation and South-North linkages. The office in Rome moved to Manila in 1991.

The organisation is named after the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis who symbolises wisdom, creativity and knowledge.
