Latin America – Campaign “Clara’s Economy”: The Role of Women in the Economy
The Comparte Network promotes this campaign, which aims to make visible the role and contributions of women in the construction of economic alternatives, as well as to raise awareness about elements of feminist and care economy.
Red Comparte, promoter of the "Clara's Economy" campaign, is organizing an online event where organizations of the network will share experiences on their gender policies and the way in which these contribute to mainstream gender equity in the economic-productive processes they support. Registration for the webinar is free and can be done through the website: www.economiadeclara.org.
The event can be followed live at www.alboan.tv.
The campaign "Clara's Economy" arises as a strategy of Red Comparte to make visible the role and contributions of women in the construction of economic alternatives; as well as to raise awareness about elements of feminist economy and care, from the practice and daily life of women and men protagonists of the productive experiences of Red Comparte.
Clara's Economy is nourished by the diversity of feminist and ecofeminist approaches and contributions that place people, communities and nature at the center, and, therefore, the processes that guarantee the sustainability and reproduction of life.
The webinar will be held on Tuesday, October 26, from 9:00 am - 10:15 am (Bogotá/Lima time). TO REGISTER, CLICK HERE.
Comparte is a network of the Society of Jesus in Latin America and the Caribbean (CPAL) that articulates 16 social organizations, the Jesuit Service for Panamazonia (SJPAM) and Formation for Work of the International Federation of Fe y Alegría (FFyA) in Latin America; and Alboan in Europe.
The network seeks to build, together with producer organizations and other allied entities, economic alternatives to the development model, favoring the exchange of experiences and methodologies, enabling the relationship of different actors and energizing economic-productive processes, ensuring that they move towards a shared horizon: another more humane and sustainable economy.
