On the International Day of Rural Women, Margarita Gómez from CLOC-Vía Campesina shares her concerns about the plight of women living and working in the Latin America countryside. Among the problems they are facing are threats, evictions from their territories, persecution, hunger and malnutrition. However, it reminds us that we should not forget that there is hope for a different world and that there are solutions, but we must organize ourselves to defend women’s rights.
