Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureDía Internacional de las Montañas 2022
Las mujeres mueven montañas
2022Las mujeres desempeñan un papel fundamental para la protección del medio ambiente y el desarrollo social y económico en las zonas montañosas. Suelen ser las principales administradoras de los recursos de las montañas, guardianas de la biodiversidad, detentoras de los conocimientos tradicionales, custodias de la cultura local y expertas en medicina tradicional. La variabilidad climática en constante aumento, a la par de la falta de inversión en la agricultura de montaña y el desarrollo rural, a menudo han inducido a los hombres a emigrar hacia otros lugares en busca de medios de vida alternativos. Por tanto, las mujeres han asumido muchas tareas que antes realizaban los hombres, pero las mujeres de las montañas a menudo son invisibles debido a la falta de poder de decisión y al acceso desigual a los recursos. Como agricultoras, vendedoras del mercado, empresarias, artesanas, emprendedoras y líderes comunitarias, las mujeres de las montañas, en particular en las zonas rurales, tienen el potencial de ser importantes impulsoras del cambio. Cuando las mujeres rurales tienen acceso a recursos, servicios y oportunidades, se convierten en una fuerza impulsora contra el hambre, la desnutrición y la pobreza rural y participan activamente en el desarrollo de las economías de las montañas. El Día Internacional de las Montañas 2022 es una oportunidad para crear conciencia sobre la necesidad de empoderar a las mujeres de las montañas para que puedan participar de manera más efectiva en los procesos de toma de decisiones y tener más control sobre los recursos productivos.

BookletCorporate general interestHow can agricultural policies and strategies help to end child labour in agriculture?
FSN Forum report of activity No. 165
2020This document summarizes the online discussion How can agricultural policies and strategies help to end child labour in agriculture? held on the FAO Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum) from 27 April to 25 May 2020. The discussion was facilitated by Jessie Rivera Fagan of FAO in Rome, Italy. The discussion was part of FAO’s activities leading up to the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour in 2021 and of its broader efforts to contribute to the progress in achieving Target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2025. A comprehensive multisectoral approach is often needed to address child labour in agriculture. Therefore, participants were invited to share information and case studies on policies and programmes which have been effective at reducing child labour in agriculture in relation to the following aspects: 1) hunger and malnutrition; 2) climate change and environmental degradation; 3) family farming; 4) innovation; 5) public and private investment; 6) attention to domestic supply chains; and 7) cross-sectoral policies and strategies. -
