Voices of pastoralist women: Leadership and resilience in the month of Working Women’s Struggle

As part of the month of Working Women’s Struggle, the voices of pastoralist women resonate strongly from different corners of the world. Their leadership, resilience, and deep knowledge of their territories are essential for the sustainability of their communities and the ecosystems they inhabit. During a recent webinar organized by WAMIP (the World Alliance of Mobile Indigenous Peoples and Pastoralists), Mamankhuu Sodnom from Mongolia, Megha Sheth from India, Monicah Yator from Kenya, and Marite Álvarez from Argentina, shared their experiences, challenges, and pathways to women’s empowerment in pastoralism.
