Description:
Social Justice: We particularly support low-income and socially and economically vulnerable women through actions that promote universal and constitutional rights and guarantees; gender, racial and ethnic equality; food and nutrition security; and overcoming prejudice. Women's income and autonomy: We carry out education and training projects focused on the feminist, solidarity, care and circular economies, to integrate women into the world of work, to generate income and economic autonomy, and to denaturalize the sexual division of labor. Regeneration of Nature and Humans: We use the science of nature-based solutions and ancestral knowledge in the implementation of agroforestry, reforestation, sanitation and other ecological initiatives to benefit women family farmers, their homes and communities with biodiversity and resilience, protecting them from the effects of climate emergency and working together to reverse it.
