The United Nations' World Agriculture Report - describes this as ‘the feminisation of agriculture’ that is having profound and far-reaching effects, both positive and negative.
Apahua is a village in the Cotopaxi province, located 4.000 meters above sea level, on the Ecuadorean Cordillera of the Andes.
Poverty in these rural areas has devastating effects on nutrition, health, education, economical resources, life expectancy, and It is the women who suffer more from its effects.
That is the reason why the women are strategic to organize, moved by the triple discrimination they endure: discriminated against for being natives, for being women and for being poor.
"Pakarimuy" is a women associations born in Apahua.
In Kichwa, the local spoken tongue, Pakarimuy means “Dawn”. It was not chosen casually: this small women’s association can represent the beginning of a new day for the place and the community in which it operates. @andrea_frazzetta @instituteartist #Southamerica #Ecuador #woman #women #Portrait #natgeotravel
