March 8 : Women’s Struggle: for Food Sovereignty; against violence and agribusiness!
The Via Campesina calls for the coordination of actions to highlight the fundamental role played by women in guaranteeing Food Sovereignty – not only as a means of confronting the food crisis but as an essential ethical principle that has as its basis social justice and equality.
