Campesina Report 2012 Report:
"The world crises in finance,
food, and climate, have triggered a rush by investors and governments to
acquire agricultural land and natural resources......Although women are the
main food producers in the world and the first responsible for well-being of
their families and communities, existing patriarchal structures continue to
deprive them of their rights to land and natural resources. As most women
peasants and family farmers do not have perennial legitimately recognized
access to land, they are particularly vulnerable to land grabbing, expulsions,
and expropriations."
