The project seeks to tackle these challenges, promoting the organization of women, the exchange of traditional seeds and knowledge, and the creation of collective strategies to fight violence and strengthen Bororó culture. The resources may enable the realization of the First Meeting of Bororó Women about Traditional Agriculture.
