The Roles of Rural Women in the Department of Nariño, Colombia. Trends and Changes

This article presents reflections based on the work in “Spaces of Encounter” within the framework of the field schools -ECAS- with rural and indigenous potato growers in five municipalities of the Department of Nariño. It identified issues, roles of women and men in family life and in agricultural work as well as expectations and desire for change and projections in their community interactions, associated with food security for their families and communities. It especially deals with the interest of rural women to “prepare” for decision making in family and community life.
