Radio Púrpura is a media that seeks, through its content and information, to stop and reduce the violation of rights. Through alternative and community communication, knowledge about human rights and gender equality is debated and expanded.

It is an alternative means of communication that focuses its work on the defense of the human rights of all people, denaturalizing violence as something normal and established. Radio Púrpura seeks to break the discrimination, exclusion and invisibilization of violence against gender diversity, women and priority attention sectors. It seeks to build citizen empowerment in contexts of equitable, respectful and diverse participation.
