Celebration of women
On March 8, International Women's Rights Day, awareness and mobilization actions are multiplied.
Women, in communities, associations, institutions..., are numerous in the PROTEGE project and represent key actors.
Focus on the action carried out by the commune of Raiatea through the PROTEGE project.
Through the frame of the PROTEGE project, a plan to raise awareness and support women in the agro-ecological transition is being conducted with the municipality of Taputapuatea, on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia.
For more than 20 years, the commune has been developing a policy centered on the notion of sustainable agriculture and has recently integrated a social and solidarity component. The commune responded to a call for tenders launched by the CPS, via PROTEGE, in order to show that agriculture can be accessible to all women wishing to start their own business and thus increase the number of women farmers on Taputapuatea.
Secondly, and in the long term, the objective is to be able to bring a solution to reduce the precariousness within the commune by the family food culture, because the recent sanitary crisis has had devastating effects.
This action is carried out with the participation of the Delegation for the Development of the Communes (DDC), the Directorate of Agriculture (DAG), the Pacific Community and thanks to the financing of the European Union.
