Women Pastoralists women play important roles with respect to livestock, land ownership and the household benefiting both their communities and the environment. However, they have not been fully recognized. Women are excluded from decision making processes and this weakens them in society.
We consider pastoralists women more vulnerable to the equality because they are members of the largely marginalized communities largely affected by gender imbalances and inequalities preventing the society as a whole from realizing the full potential of women in social, economic, legal and political spheres.
We are looking into sustainable pastoralism, introducing gender based programs that includes an approach aiming at diversifying economic participation of women and reinforcing their capacity to organize themselves for purposes of defending their interests.
