Leaflet of Via Campesina.
"(..) In all societies throughout the world women and girls are the victims of economic discrimination, psychological and sexual abuse and physical violence, in both public and private life. Domestic violence, malnourishment, human trafficking, sexual harassment, genital mutilation, forced marriages, 'hounour' killings and femicide and rape in times of war are all symptoms of this horrific trend. Furthermore, women and girls make up 70% of those living in extreme poverty across the globe.
(..) Women farmers are subjected to acute social and economic exclusion and oppression. That is why La Via Campesina has decided, as a farmers' movement, to mobilise against this injustice."
