Nicaraguan Women Transforming lives, protecting the land

This video tells the story of the long struggle of the Gloria Quintanilla Women Co-operative in Santa Julia south of Managua. Set up in 2008, the co-operative, supported by the Rural Workers Association (ATC), has transformed the lives of the whole community through their commitment to food sovereignty, agroecology, gender equality and land rights. As defenders of the rights of women and girls, the co-operative is building an understanding and legacy for the community that “men and women are born with equal rights and equal opportunities.” As small scale farmers and guardians of the environment, agroecology is fundamental: “We use agroecology because in this way we take care of our farms, our health and (the wellbeing) of future generations.” Learn more about how the women of Santa Julia have mobilised to grow healthy local food and transform their community in a way that respects people and the land.
