Vision

The Latin-American Federation of Rural Women understands the importance of preparing and organizing women to empower them to exercise and defend their rights.

Our vision is based on the historic coincidences of all rural women’s situation around the world. We know that it is not divorced from the circumstances of other women. But, we have seen some unique peculiarities within the female rural community. It is our goal to support women in an effort to demonstrate that their rights are not limited to the capabilities of having children and a family. But also the right to influence the community and the personal and spiritual satisfaction that it brings.

Mission

The Latin-American Federation of Rural Women’s Mission is to encourage, promote, support, strengthen, train and counsel women to achieve equality in the participation and decision-making at all levels of the organization; as well as their social, labor, unions and business.

To make available to women the necessary tools (training, counseling, etc.). To promote their participation, both at the grassroots level and in leadership positions. Encourage the promotion of organizations and foundations for purposes consistent with the principles and needs of women, providing support, through voting, to encourage women to reach leadership positions.

 Prepare and train women in both their social life, proper financial administration, so they can meet the challenge of the limitations that may interfere with the exercise of their rights.

                                                                                                                                                            Identify problems that affect women and jointly submit proposals, recommendations and set demands, if the case requires.

It is the federation’s mission to raise women's leadership in society, strengthening their cultural and moral foundation and raising their economic status through their own individual development. With all these mechanism at had we expect to see an improvement in their professionalism and also the initiative to develop new entrepreneurism ideas.

Involve women in the problems and solutions of their own community, with specific guidelines on sensitive issues such as health, domestic violence, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, personal hygiene, and environmental hygiene. Also support groups and training on self-upbringing of their children.

Fight against child abuse, often concealed in the economic situation of their own parents and relatives, taking place in the form of work unsuitable for their age and sometimes even humiliating, affecting their self-esteem and personality.

Ultimately our mission is to create an environment that makes rural life a constant motivation for rural women to feel as an equal class, as a woman, compared to urban women.
