Advocating for Rural Women: V ENLAC Dialogue

As the representative of Latinas en Poder at the V ENLAC, Nitza Segui facilitated a high-impact dialogue with high-level government representatives and the Inter-American Foundation to address the situation and opportunities for women in rural communities.

Latinas en Poder remains steadfast in our commitment to confronting the oppressions rural women face. We work hand-in-hand with our partners to advance their rights, amplify their voices, and ensure their inclusion in decision-making spaces. We will continue to stand as a strong ally of the Rural Women’s Network, promoting their rights and working toward institutionalizing the Decade of Rural Women.

Our most profound appreciation goes to Luz Haro, General Secretary, for her fearless leadership and unwavering dedication to the cause of rural women.
