About Consumer Rights Associations

Although it is extremely important to know and understand the rights discussed on this web page, it is also good to take account of the fact that many associations for consumer defense already exist in Nicaragua, and have for some years. These associations serve the population specifically to orient consumers with their rights, and to give them support in making sure these rights are honored.

Currently in Nicaragua, some legally constituted consumer rights organizations include: The Association of Consumers of Masaya (ACODEMA), The Association of Consumers of Léon (ADECONLE), the Association of Consumers of Granada (ACUGRA) and the League of Consumers of Nicaragua (LIDECONIC).

We think that it is important for consumers to have knowledge of the existence of these associations, and that they make use of these resources in the event that they need help.

As we have indicated, the organization of civil society is fundamental in order to achieve a higher level of social justice. For this reason, we are committed to the world of associations, which is the first step in the struggle for the people's rights. It is for this reason that, from its beginning, ACODEMA has adopted this slogan:

Only with unity and organization can we successfully defend our consumer rights!
