[IYRPsupportgroup] IYRP partners in consultation on pastoralist women in mountain areas in Europe

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Dear all,

Further to the information below about the Carpathian Convention, here is a press release about a collaboration between the IYRP and the Carpathian Convention in a Consultation Day under the 68th Commission on the Status of Women, the United Nations’ annual gathering on gender equality and women’s empowerment. This was held online on 12 March 2024 with women herders, researchers and policymakers from Europe about challenges faced by pastoralist women in European mountain areas and strategies to help the women overcome these challenges.

Francesca Pasetti, one of the coordinators of the Regional IYRP Support Group (RISG) in Europe, gave a presentation about the IYRP and its aim to raise global awareness of the importance of rangelands and pastoralists. She gave particular attention to the aims and key messages of the IYRP Working Group on Pastoralism & Gender. 

Among the European pastoralist women who spoke at this event were Ibolya Sáfiánné (Hungary), Laura Martinez Nuñez (Spain) and Caterina De Boni (Italy).
