Mission and values
Amazone is a bilingual organization that supports and brings together associations and individuals committed to advancing the rights of women* and gender minorities. The goal of this dynamic space, a place for gathering and support, is to contribute to building social, cultural, and professional connections in order to promote gender equality in Belgium. Amazone fosters an intersectional feminism that takes into account the additional forms of discrimination that intersect with sexism and LGBTQIA+phobia.
We also have a restaurant partly ran by workers in socio-professional integration programmes and a conference centre. Together with our partners, we run a gender-related resource centre and initiate a variety of projects and events.
Women*: we refer to anyone who recognises themselves under this name and maintain that everyone is free to define their own gender identity.
