The Latin American Coordination of Rural Organizations, linked to La Vía Campesina (CLOC–LVC), has been advancing collective, political, and ideological work to position women’s human rights, echoing and contributing to life itself. This has been the political construction of our commitment to a model different from capitalism and patriarchy. We want to tell the world that there are other possibilities and other visions of life.

The approach to food sovereignty has been shaped by the feelings, thoughts, and lived experiences of women. Food sovereignty represents us, includes us, and recognizes our contribution and our role as caregivers.

The care economy, feminist economy, and peasant economy cannot be separated — they form an alliance.

Together, they shape the work we have been doing from the perspective of peasant and popular feminism. It is also essential that we, as women, build our identity and autonomy. This identity has been forged through the major political commitment of peasant and popular feminism, and it is important to name it explicitly. This means recognizing the role that we have played throughout history.
