Mainstream media both nationally and internationally lacks a concise gender analysis and representation of children and women’s issues and perspectives. Las Perlas de Mar is an alternative media outlet that was created two years ago in order to fill this gap and report on current events with a gender lens that creates an environment where the news will reflect and give voice to women’s communities and realities.

Las Perlas del Mar is a bilingual (Spanish and English) internet newscast with a gender perspective that covers and broadcasts local news, weekly comments on events that concern our communities as well as events run by community based non-for-profit organizations. We currently have an average of 5,000 hits per week, within Canada, the United States, and Latin America.

Mainstream media rarely covers news and events run by local organizations that are on the ground working with and for diverse communities in the city of Toronto. Las Perlas del Mar is committed to working in partnership and collaborate with individuals, as well as community groups and organizations. We want to be part of your community events, of the issues that matter to you and the individuals you work with. Las Perlas del Mar has worked in partnership and collaboration with the following organizations: WACT, TRCC, METRAC, Costi, Mujer, Child Development Institute, Barbara Schlifer Clinic, Council of Canadians, Mujeres al Frente, NFB, Mayworks, Counterpoint, FCJ Refugee Centre, InsideOut, Alucine, Female Eye, amongst others.
Alternative media needs to be supported by individuals and organizations in order to be able to sustain the promotion and coverage it provides. For the past two years, Las Perlas del Mar has worked on a voluntary basis. In order to be able to continue our work, we need your support! We want you to become part of our voice by becoming a member and financially contributing to our organization. With your support we can provide a gender lens that through an intersectional and anti-oppression analysis creates an environment where our viewers can hear your voices.

Las Perlas del Mar offers your organization three different annual membership options that will contribute to our sustainability and allow us to continue to offer you and our communities coverage and news. In order to thank-you for your support, each membership grants you certain benefits.

We are committed to bringing attention to a broad range of local and global news and events related to, but not limited to: human rights, social justice, violence, the environment, health, as well as feminist art and culture We want to bring news and comments with a gender focus. We believe that with your collaboration we can continue to create multi-media projects and initiatives that are produced by women.
