Even in times of climate crisis, governments continue to encourage large-scale agriculture industries to expand. These activities poison the land, threaten biodiversity, and destroy local food production and livelihoods. Meanwhile, while women produce the majority of our food in the world, they own almost none of the land.

What if we perceived land and Nature not as private property to exploit, but as a whole to live in, learn from, and harmoniously coexist with? What if we repaired our relationships with the land and embraced more sustainable alternatives that nurture both the planet and its communities?

Nous Sommes la Solution (We Are the Solution, NSS) is one of many women-led movements striving to do this. This is their story.

Las activistas feministas jóvenes son la parte medular del trabajo de AWID

De hecho, el 38% de nuestra membresía tienene menos de 30 años de edad.

Creemos que lxs activistas jóvenes son el presente y el futuro de la lucha por los derechos de las mujeres. Mediante nuestro programa «Activismo Joven Feminista» que atraviesa todos los aspectos de nuestro trabajo, promovemos a líderes jóvenes en el movimiento mundial por los derechos de las mujeres. A la vez, al definir a este programa como una de nuestras Áreas Prioritarias, contribuimos con nuevos análisis a los debates actuales para asegurarnos que las jóvenes activistas feministas sean capaces de articular sus prioridades y darle voz a los temas que les preocupan.

The Women’s Working Group on Financing for Development (WWG on FfD), an alliance of women’s rights organizations and networks, was launched in October 2007 to advocate for the advancement of gender equality, women’s empowerment and human rights in the FfD related UN processes.  

• The Third High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development, 23-25 October 2007 saw an upsurge in civil society participation. Aside from the six round table sessions, there were hearings for civil society and the business sector.
• AWID delivered a statement at the plenary on behalf of Civil Society calling for governments to give greater attention to the importance of women’s rights organizations as agents of development, and the need to promote new mechanisms for financing for women in developing and least developed countries. The statement urged governments to give greater support to gender architecture in the United Nations so that the system as a whole could make progress in terms of its commitment to gender equality, women’s empowerment and human rights, including the economic, social, cultural and environmental rights of all persons.
