Centro Feminista de Estudos e Asssessoria (CFEMEA), or the Feminist Center for Studies and Advisory Services is a nongovernmental, non-profit organization in Brazil that works for the citizenship of women and gender equality. It fights for a just, democratic society and state in an autonomous and non-partisan way.

Founded on feminist thought, CFEMEA actively participates in the national women's movement, and integrates with international feminist networks, especially in Latin America. It also participates in different initiatives against racism.The center is led by a Deliberative Council and a Collective Directory. It works with a Consultant Council, a Specialist Committee, and a Fiscal Council.

In 2009, CFEMEA celebrated its twentieth anniversary. IWHC is supporting CFEMEA to conduct a comprehensive review of their two decades of work and document their advances in the field of sexual and reproductive rights. IWHC has supported CFEMEA since 1995.
