O 8M foi de luta na comunidade de Caranguejo Tabaiares. Foi dia de caminhar pela comunidade, e nos reconhecer na luta cotidiana pela vida das mulheres e pela sobrevivência. As participantes levaram cartazes com mensagens importantes sobre os direitos das mulheres, com frases que enfatizam a necessidade de conscientização pelo fim da violência contra as mulheres, feminicídios e violência doméstica. Caminhamos pelos becos e ruas dentro e fora de Caranguejo a fim de mostrar o cansaço por intermináveis horas de trabalho e para reclamar nosso direito de permanecer e defender o nosso território tão desejado pelo capitalismo e a especulação imobiliária.

Women play important roles in all smallholder farming systems. Advocates for women farmers often claim that “women produce 60-80% of the world’s food.” Occasionally, we are told that this statistic refers to food produced in developing countries, or food crops in sub-Saharan Africa; the reference point is vague. But the idea is clear – women produce more food than men.

Chad is at the verge of an emerging land tenure crisis. As observed in many countries in Africa, formal and customary tenure systems overlap. Customary tenure systems, that generally prevail in rural areas, differ from region to region, with each its own needs and practices. Land conflicts are abundant, caused by degradation and transformation of land surfaces caused by climate change, as well as land investments by domestic investors with disputed legitimacy. Women, particularly, struggle in practice to obtain the same rights to land as men, even though country’s constitution enshrines gender equality.

Nous tous, chez Agrisud, n’acceptons pas l’idée qu’aujourd’hui 1,4 milliards de personnes puissent vivre en situation de pauvreté, avec le plus souvent de grandes difficultés pour se nourrir quotidiennement.


Au Sud comme au Nord, nous savons que cette situation est due très souvent à l’exclusion économique, pour des raisons multiples, qui elle-même entraîne progressivement l’exclusion sociale.
