The Organization of the United Nations, together with the Federation Farmers International, together with other organizations, has determined that October 15 is International Day and remember the World Rural Women, just one day before the date of Food Sovereignty is no coincidence this situation, FAO says (The UN Food and Agriculture of the UN) Women produce more than 50 percent of food grown in the world. In the most impoverished countries produce 80% of the food.
The hours of work of rural women in the most inhospitable areas of our country, considering the productive, reproductive and domestic number between 16 and 18 hours per day. In the north of our country, the first task of the day, before breakfast, is the care of small livestock and farm, also according to the season, the culture, activities in the garden, prepare lunch, take care of household chores , in the afternoon, cleaning clothes, re-engage in the cultivation and consumption activities, and many also undertake craft. Before nightfall, looking Elna and enclose animals, and then make dinner. Domestic work increases much more where there are problems of access to natural resources, because they take their time in collecting firewood and fetching water.
Rurality is so large, that this range extends to various participants involved, the geographic diversity of our country also makes it almost impossible for us to determine a unique model of rural women, are those who work in Tambera activity, when everyday there very early to milk cows, and then all of a day's work to provide one of the most important food of human beings and women as well as engage in production that land, are concerned about the lack of sewers in their populations and water quality consuming, there are women who do not get on top of a tractor or milking cows or herding animals, but also part of rurality, for his cultural, and See you in the home management of production unit, looking for input prices, and bringing different family development efforts, all absolutely all, are required participate in family agriculture, betting on sustainable rural development. In this context we must not forget those women who along with other players were ejected from the production system, because they belong to small production units, which, divided among the members of one family, not make a profitable unit, with the way the lease, and go to town or another town, looking for other prospects in life, but with the rural nature in the depths of his being, these women are also part of the rurality. Yet this most rural women understood the importance of the organization to achieve our objectives, we should not just take our time in the daily task, but we should make a commitment to social reality, which is played live and so in the 90's, rural women are left struggling to halt the auction of the assets of the farmers in debt because of neoliberal policies, and immediately understood that we occupy many spaces we offered our FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURAL ARGENTINA, strengthen training in the guild and achieve active mobilization, but coupled with an intelligent management from our representatives to achieve our objectives, and in this respect than Muchilla of our peers have been part of the development of a document with no waste in terms of bases and contents of the productive value and cultural meaning of Family Farming in the development process of a country, and other colleagues who have joined teams with innovative proposals in the production, women cooperative, providing programs to insert plans for sustainable development in their midst, and as if this were not enough the the rural women from jumping to a legislative bench to take our voices go precisely where policy decisions which we should aim for generate our development. And this is the point where I really wanted to go with my words, and has to do So rural women are at the heart of innovation, and we need to take a major step to move from victimization to the prominence it gives us the fact that able to pass on our traditional culture from generation to generation, and many innovations are based on such knowledge, are recognized today as scientists in their own right and as entrepreneurs, but of course public policies are needed for them to develop in this direction, These findings are nothing more and nothing less than Kaaren Serres, President of the Women's Committee of Agriculture IFAP
In this space we highlight the women of the COPROFAM, Confederation of family farmers in MERCOSUR, together with ActionAid, which have been made by a MERCOSUR without hunger, and urged all governments to strengthen public policy to Family Farming sustain fundamental basis of sustainable development in a country.
invite all organizations, representatives of all political parties, the foundation of our democratic system, to join in urging all governments of the world, in a process of construction:
It provides more information detailed, differentiated by sex, as the invisibility of women in statistics officers is one of the first obstacles to be overcome for the development of public policies with gender perspective, recent data we have in 2002 the FAO of the 13 million women who are officially registered in Latin America and the Caribbean as part of the economically active population, we must add 24 million producing invisible whose work is not recognized by official statistics.
A Historical Reparation for those involved in the AF, where the percentage majority are women, who were expelled from the production system have access to new plots of land, the technology necessary to bring them into production, operating capital, and everything you need para volver a producir, y vivir dignamente del trabajo de la tierra, se trata de recuperar visibilidad a través de un registro de Productores /ras cono sujeto agrario y no como explotaciones agropecuarias.
Entender y hacer entender que no hay manera de combatir la pobreza y la exclusión social sin promover políticas publicas que contemplen al ser humano como centro de desarrollo, haciendo hincapié en quienes son los actores de la producción y no cuanto se produce, de esa manera se pone en marcha el motor para impulsar el desarrollo de los pueblos del interior del país
Con planes de educación integral que permitan hacer una planificación familiar, sin culpas, con acceso a centros de salud, a centros integrales de cuidados children to new technology, and information and training required to open the doors to the sustainable rural development.
Understand that gender relations are culturally based and who are we as a society define the activities, status, so you have to understand that sex is not a genre and gender is not synonymous with women, hence the organizations all actors have a long way to go learning.
Finally, I remember that the food crisis of 2008 shocked the global food system, but now many seem to have forgotten, the problem of global food security is present. Governments from around the world should consider this crisis as a warning, and take the necessary political decisions to establish a food safety system that is fair, which benefits the poor, which is organic, based on sound principles of sustainable agriculture. To achieve food security in the long term governments should support the active participation of small farmers, who are the majority of the world's agricultural population, so once again as always and forever, today more than ever the demand for our agricultural federation Argentina stronger than ever for agriculture to farmers for sustainable rural development.
