Rural Women\u2019s Assembly<\/h1>\n\n\n

\u201cF\u00f6r att de organiserar kvinnor p\u00e5 landsbygden i s\u00f6dra Afrika i en f\u00f6renad kraft som f\u00f6rsvarar land, fr\u00f6er och kroppslig autonomi mot f\u00f6retags och patriarkala strukturers \u00f6vertagande.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rural Women\u2019s Assembly (RWA) \u00e4r en sj\u00e4lvorganiserad, transnationell r\u00f6relse med \u00f6ver 178 000 sm\u00e5skaliga jordbrukare i elva l\u00e4nder i S\u00f6dra Afrika, f\u00f6renade i att f\u00f6rsvara land, fr\u00f6er, och kroppslig autonomi mot f\u00f6retags jordbruksn\u00e4ring och patriarkalt ber\u00f6vande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De tillbakavisar traditionella NGO-modeller till f\u00f6rdel f\u00f6r en platt, frivilligledd struktur, som har byggt upp en av regionens st\u00f6rsta autonoma n\u00e4tverk f\u00f6r kvinnor p\u00e5 landsbygden, k\u00e4nt som \u201cF\u00f6rsvarare av land, liv, fr\u00f6 och k\u00e4rlek\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genom feministisk agroekologi och fr\u00f6suver\u00e4nitet har RWA utmanat f\u00f6retagens kontroll \u00f6ver regionens matsystem samtidigt som de st\u00e4rkt samh\u00e4llens motst\u00e5ndskraft mot klimatschocker. De har etablerat 24 platser f\u00f6r fr\u00f6f\u00f6r\u00f6kning och dokumenterat hundratals inhemska fr\u00f6er, som f\u00f6rsvarar traditionella fr\u00f6system mot kommersialisering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genom l\u00e4kande samtalscirklar och \u00f6msesidig hj\u00e4lp \u00f6ver gr\u00e4nserna, har RWA lyft kvinnor som l\u00e4nge exkluderats fr\u00e5n att \u00e4ga land till att bli en f\u00f6renad och best\u00e4ndig politisk r\u00f6st \u2013 en som, enligt deras regionala koordinator, \u00e4r mer \u201cbr\u00e5kig\u201d \u00e4n \u201cradikal\u201d. En r\u00f6st som bidrog till att s\u00e4kra en zambisk lag 2016, vilken sl\u00e5r fast att kvinnor ska tilldelas mark p\u00e5 lika villkor, och Eswatinis lag om sexualbrott och v\u00e5ld i n\u00e4ra relationer fr\u00e5n 2018. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Biography (in English)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rural Women’s Assembly is a transnational movement of over 178,000 small-scale farmers across eleven Southern African nations, resisting corporate land grabs and patriarchy to achieve food security and defend bodily autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through feminist agroecology, seed sovereignty and grassroots organising, it has turned rural women into an independent political force reshaping land rights and food systems across the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
