WIN’s California Women’s Agenda (CAWA) reunited at Harvest Time in the valley. with our Central Valley partners of 10 years. We had all been rallying, marching and resisting. It was time to have a “Converation about ‘what’s been goin’ on in California’s Central Valley the past 10 years and what did women and girls want to do about it. Critcal concerns were on the table such as Water, DACA. Voting, Jobs, Environmental Justice , Violence, Gender Justice, Immigration, Racism, CEDAW, Human Rights, Health Access , Reproductive Rights.
We filmed awards to two women warriors, Mother, Irma Medellin, and Daughter, Isabel Arrollo. heard stories and and testimonials from a panel of young women from ACT for Women and Girls from a Panel of Farmworker women. In their own words what is going on in their lives as rural women. Photos and more about the women and their conversations.
We introduced participants at the Call to Action to the Cities for CEDAW Campaign as a tool for women and girls’ economic and social equality in California.
With the United Nations Commission on Women’s 62nd Session approaching focused on Empowering Rural Women and Girls we will take Valley representative with us to the UN March 12, 2018 for the
