The Diverse Women for Diversity<\/b><\/a> (DWD), an international network of women, emerged as a Southern response to the threats to cultural and biological diversity posed by globalisation. Founded in 1997, following the Conference on Plant Genetic Resources in Leipzig in June 1996, the movement today has a presence in all continents. The moment aims at building and concentrating women’s energies to articulate and provide alternatives based on equality, justice, sustainability and peace.<\/p>\n

Voices of Diversity – Film<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Who are these women, who have dedicated their lives to protecting this earth? What do their voices stand for? Do they speak for us all?<\/p>\n

In this short trailer to our upcoming short film, we showcase the diverse voices of people who are silently working on re-establishing harmony with the Earth. People, who for generations, have carried on a way of life that breeds health, biodiversity and vitality to ecosystems.<\/p>\n
