Expanding and defending women's rights and eradicating women's oppression have become key to La Via Campesina and its conceptualization and practice of food sovereignty. In this paper, we analyze how ...gender equality and feminism have gained momentum within the movement, and how the work on gender issues configures a feminist politics and praxis at the global level. As LVC celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, we examine what difference women's decades-long struggles have made within the movement, especially since 1996, and how these have shaped the movement's politics, both organizationally and politically. We argue that women's activism has contributed to radicalizing food sovereignty with a feminist perspective.
Since the 1990s, La Vía Campesina (LVC) has become one of the most important transnational movements in the world. Francisca 'Pancha' Rodríguez is one of the founders of both LVC and one of its ...regional expressions, the Latin American Coordination of Rural Organizations (CLOC), as well as of the National Association of Rural and Indigenous Women (ANAMURI), in Chile. In this article, she tells us about these movements' history and challenges, especially for peasant women and youth.
In Latin America, the covid-19 pandemic has deepened inequalities and perceptions of the socio-ecological crisis produced by the extractivist model that has dominated the region’s economies for the ...last few decades. In Argentina, resistance to this model is led by indigenous peasant farmers organised in the face of land grabbing processes. We address the role of feminisms within these territorial proposals during the pandemic, analyzing the case of women in the National Indigenous Peasant Movement (MNCI). Using an ethnographic approach with grassroots activists and qualitative analysis of public statements, we reflect on their positioning as spokespersons for critical alternatives to neoliberalism, through strategic alliances with broad sectors of the Global South.
More often than not, a broad-brush approach has been taken in describing the past, and large sectors of society have been portrayed on the basis of simple stereotypes rather than trying to reflect ...the lives of real people. This applies to the history of Icelandic peasant women, which has not been based in any real way on sources originating with the women themselves. Most writings from Iceland in the 18th and 19th century are by men, about men, and primarily embody the attitudes and interests of a small, privileged class. This research establishes that far more material exists on the lives and work of women in this period than was previously believed. However, many of these sources are fragmentary, and it can be hard to contextualize them. Guðbjörg Hallgrímsdóttir´s story provides an excellent opportunity to explore the diversity of women's status in the society of past centuries by focussing primarily on the life of one woman and applying the methods of microhistory. The study reveals that the options for women to become independent or being a farmer were in some cases not so different from men's during the period in question.
At the local market held in São José de Mipibu, peasant women are the principal protagonists, finding in it a strategy to meet their subsistence needs. Through their participation in agroecology and ...local markets, they achieve material, sociocultural and subjective improvements related to the provision of food and care for their families. However, the power relations underlying the sexual division of labor, which makes women responsible for household and care work remain, as women's workloads increase with their involvement in the local market. For this reason, this case study demonstrates that gender equality is not automatically attained by implementing agroecological practices on farms or by participating in local markets.
In Turkey, land reform was subject to fierce debates among different political groups throughout the 1960s. Land occupations and small peasant demonstrations were seen as new forms of struggle to ...voice demands for land reform. This article explores the gender and class specific effects of global post-war American expansion policies on agrarian change and peasant struggle in the form of land occupations in rural Turkey. Focusing on the Aegean villages of Golluce and Atalan in the late 1960s, it argues that different political organizations imagined villages as laboratories to test their visions of land reform and the occupiers as a homogeneous class regardless of gender-specific claims. In doing so, it highlights the characteristics of rural class struggles and the politics of land reform with reference to social class and gender in Turkey in this period.
