FACING THE CLIMATE CRISIS: STORIES OF CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATION.
Ten years ago, at the Fondo de Mujeres del Sur (FMS) we noticed a crossroads that seemed important at the time, and today is essential: the interweaving of socio-environmental justice and gender.
The following pages narrate five of the many stories we could tell. They describe struggles for land, equality and dignity, conservation, and the women who bring about change. Yet, they are also stories about choosing vital and communal options for navigating the current climate crisis and for believing that other ways of living are possible.
MOVEMENT OF WOMEN WORKERS FOR A FEMINIST AND SOLIDARITY ECONOMY
At the end of 2021, Fondo de Mujeres del Sur (FMS), in alliance with the Global Fund for Women (GFW), organised a survey of organisations from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The objective was to find out more about the organisational, leadership and development aspects of the feminist collective groups that work within the emerging movement of women workers for a feminist and solidarity economy.
With an exploratory tone, the study sought to understand the current situation of this social movement that forges new economic alternatives. It also sought to build on data of the existing groups in the region.
STORIES FROM MUJERES DEL SUR
15 YEARS REINFORCING FEMINISM
This publication brings together, in an illustrated format, the stories of activists from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. It was produced by Fábrica Memética for Fondo de Mujeres del Sur in a process during which teams and protagonists worked together.
We wanted to tell the life stories and the collective construction that takes place in networks that then becomes sovereign experiences, freedoms and rights. These are individual and collective stories of what is transformed when feminisms are reinforced.
