les femmes et la souverainete alimentaire : les voix des femmes rurales du sud

The document argues that the dominant agro-industrial model, driven by profit and export, marginalizes rural women by ignoring their role in social reproduction and denying them land rights. Through testimonies from the Global South, it illustrates how corporate land grabbing and state complicity lead to economic displacement and environmental degradation. In response, rural women are organizing through movements like La Via Campesina to promote food sovereignty, preserve ancestral seeds, and implement agro-ecological alternatives to ensure the sustainability of life and biodiversity.

• Rural women face systemic gender inequality, including a lack of fundamental rights, sexual and gender-based violence, and economic discrimination, with their essential contributions to food production and social reproduction often remaining invisible or unpaid.
• Land access is a critical barrier for rural women, as traditional and modern laws often favor male ownership, and government policies frequently marginalize women's access to land and agricultural credit.
• Corporate land grabbing by mining and agro-industrial firms, often with state complicity, destroys the livelihoods and cultural ties of rural women, as seen in cases involving Michelin in Nigeria and oil palm plantations in Indonesia.
• Rural women act as guardians of biodiversity and ancestral knowledge, resisting the capitalist model by preserving indigenous seeds and employing sustainable agro-ecological methods to ensure community food security.
