Women on Farms Project A Brief History of WFP: Who are we? The Women on Farms Project (WFP) works with women in commercial agriculture, mainly in the Western Cape Province.

The project grew out of a 1992 Lawyers for Human Rights initiative aimed at meeting the specialised needs of women who live and work on farms (farmwomen). The overall mission of the organisation is to empower and strengthen the capacity of women who live and work on farms to claim their rights and fulfil their needs. WFP is seen as a key role player in the sector and demand for its services and participation both from its constituency, farmwomen, and other role players remains high. The 2005 NOVIB-commissioned external evaluation of WFP concluded that:

WFP is a well-known organisation with a strong reputation and is held in high regard by peer organisations in the NGO sector as well as other stakeholders. The organisation is a strongly responsive organisation – well in touch with its external context, making it easily accessible to its target group and to its partners.

Click the link in our Bio to read Oxfam’s latest report on the Toxic Trade of Highly Hazardous Pesticides ✊🏾⚠️

“European companies can export pesticides that are considered too dangerous for use within the EU. Companies profit from the trade, while European markets benefit from agricultural products produced within these supply chains. Farmers, farm workers and communities in the Global South bear a disproportionate share of the health and environmental risks. This reflects and reinforces unequal power relations, with economic benefits concentrated among powerful companies and harms shifted onto more vulnerable communities.”

Knowledge is power, solidarity is strength and activism is a catalyst for change ✊🏾⚠️ 📢
