Mobilisations to end violence against women

From 25 to 30 November 2019, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, La Via Campesina mobilised several of its members and allies to unite with all those women and people of diverse identities who resist, organise and struggle for a fair and egalitarian society that works in solidarity, by keeping love and respect at its core.
