Gender equality through women-led agroecology

Last autumn, members of the Inter Pares team visited our counterparts in Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and Togo as part of the Scaling up Gender Equality through Women-Led Agroecology in West Africa project.

Together with our counterparts, we are campaigning for an agroecology that cultivates autonomy. An agroecology that puts society, and women in particular, at the centre of concerns in a respectful and sustainable manner.

Food autonomy, access to land and seed management are aspects that will ultimately lead to the recognition and exercise of rural women’s political, economic and social rights and to the reduction of food insecurity.
