ALIMUPER was founded in 1973, by
Ana Maria Portugal. Its members were mostly from the educated middle classes. The organization shared a small office with
Creatividad y Cambio, a Catholic feminist organization founded by two
Maryknoll Sisters, Rosa Dominga and Timotea. ALIMUPER organized demonstrations against
Mother's Day being commercialized, and for the right to contraception and abortion. In 1978 it organized a march supporting the
Nicaraguan Revolution. ALIMUPER called a march for
abortion rights on
International Women's Day 1979. Coordinating with a London-based international movement that year, it also demanded the government sponsor programmes for abused women. ==References==
