Description
As part of the workshop offered by the PSA, we are proposing a
first morning of discussions around the theme: "A lever for the empowerment of rural women: Leadership from individual journey to collective action." A pair of two participants will have prepared the introduction to the discussion and
selected people to share their experiences. We are
launching a call for participation from organizations
in Latin America, North Africa, or English-speaking countries that have
experience to share on this subject. For your information: The Geneva Food Sovereignty Platform has been discussing this topic for almost
two years (team of women leaders from Africa, webinars), and is holding a 5-day workshop in
October 2025 in Benin (40 women, 8 countries), and is compiling (fact sheets and
videos). We invited 20 of these women and men to the World Social Forum to:
strengthen solidarity among their organizations, build relationships, and
deepen ongoing learning about women's empowerment and
the integration of gender considerations into development projects. We have a
headquarters at Eco Benin's headquarters where we welcome those who
want to share their experiences.
