Luisa h. herse

Luisa es feminista desde la intuición, el activismo y la formación profesional. Es licenciada en Psicología Social por la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, campus Xochimilco y Maestra en Estudios de las Mujeres por la misma universidad, con especialización en los procesos que articulan la producción cultural y artística con el género y el espacio público. Sus acercamientos con el feminismo se remontan a su niñez, pero su activismo cobró forma a partir de procesos de formación feminista y acción callejera en torno al derecho al aborto libre y seguro en sus años de estudiante universitaria. A partir de 2005 y gracias a su vinculación con Fondo Semillas, conoce el campo de la filantropía feminista y del fortalecimiento de capacidades para la sostenibilidad de los movimientos sociales, mismo en el que se ha venido desarrollando. Gracias a su colaboración con la consultoría mexicana Insad, S.C., se especializó en el fortalecimiento de capacidades en torno a la planeación, el pensamiento estratégico y la evaluación. Al coordinar por 5 años estos procesos, tuvo contacto con infinidad de organizaciones y colectivos de base, así como con donantes y agencias financiadoras que apoyan los derechos humanos y los movimientos de mujeres y feministas de México y la región, como INWF-Prospera, HIP en su alianza con The Oak Foundation en México, FCAM, Fondo Semillas, The Womanity Foundation, The MacArthur Foundation, Ford Foundation, Kellogg Foundation, entre otras.
