Hundreds of rural women from across Argentina and countries such as Colombia, Bolivia, and Uruguay took part in the second International Forum on Gender and Rurality, organized by Mujeres Rurales Argentinas and the Santa Fe Ministry of Equality and Human Development. Under the motto “With our feet on the ground and the future in our hands,” the event promoted gender equity in rural areas and regional cooperation.
Discussions focused on wage gaps, land ownership, and access to financing, culminating in a regional commitment to reduce gender inequalities. The forum closed with the Lía Encalada Awards, honoring women leaders in production, education, innovation, and community leadership.
