Empowering rural women in Aragon (Spain)! Telegram group connects women around shared interests

Did you know that the Planning and Equality Section of the regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food in Arag贸n, led by Miriam Ferrer Dufol, is actively working to promote the presence of women in rural areas?

Their commitment is highly necessary and truly impressive! They maintain a dedicated section on their institutional website, exclusively focused on rural women, offering a wealth of valuable information.

This section includes:

Statistics on women’s involvement in rural life
Details on relevant courses and workshops
Information on upcoming events and conferences.
Guidance on available grants and subsidies
Access to useful publications

Beyond the website, they also run an active Telegram group! 馃摚 This fosters connection and information sharing among women interested in all kinds of activities relevant to rural women in Arag贸n. You can access this fantastic channel via @MujeresRurales/Aragon.

It’s inspiring to see such dedicated efforts to support and empower women in rural communities. Let’s celebrate these initiatives!

The Government of Arag贸n, through its Planning and Equality Section, actively participates in the work developed by the Spanish Living Lab of the GRASS CEILING project. They are considered one of the project’s stakeholder in Spain, alongside others such as the Ministry of Agriculture. Among many other activities carried out by this area of the Government of Arag贸n, we’d like to share some stories of rural women entrepreneurs who, just like in our GRASS CEILING project, highlight the value of female entrepreneurship in rural areas. Video coming up!
