FINAL DECLARATION
We, women and members of the Women’s Assembly on Food Sovereignty during the People’s Forum on Food Sovereignty in Rome held November 14-16; 2009, after intense discussions have seen the systematic oppression and exploitation of women through the processes of globalization and corporatization of agriculture intensified by patriarchy and traditional and cultural oppression. These have brought untold sufferings and indignities in the lives of women. They have lost control of land and productive resources particularly seeds. They do not have access to education, health care, work in hazardous conditions and get low wages and face increasing hunger and malnutrition.
We, participants of the Women’s Assembly commit towards to:
We call for gender justice and world peace.
