Women in Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities have often not been able to organise themselves as a legal entity, preventing access to funding and support.
The communities I work with, alongside rich natural biodiversity, have made its survival part of their culture, increasingly recognized in conservation efforts.
My role involves empowering women by ensuring they get practical support and a fair share of financial assistance for their environmental efforts.
As a peasant woman from the mountains of Colombia, my mother taught me the vital role women play in nurturing their communities and the environment.
