The Red de Mujeres Pinoleras, also known as REMUPI, was founded in 2020 by Nicaraguan women refugees in Costa Rica, following the socio-political crisis of 2018 in Nicaragua.
The organisation promotes and defends women's rights. It accompanies and guides women fleeing state violence in Nicaragua, generating and strengthening networks so that they can sustain themselves emotionally and economically, as a strategy for resilience. It is a political space where women seek a dignified life, not only in exile but in a Nicaragua that respects all people. It is a network of solidarity, collective care, memory and struggle. The leaders of the organisation also participate in other organised spaces for the defence of human rights, such as the LGBTIQ+ movement or the youth movement. Their action in defence of women's and gender rights focuses on socio-economic support for exiled women in Costa Rica and advocacy work towards Nicaragua and the international community.
