Rural Women and Sustainability: A Feminist Perspective

Abstract

There is currently a trend in solidarity that seeks to unite women for a cause that aims to improve their lives and the way the world should look at them. This current is referred to as feminist. Feminism is an organization in which women make claims to change the world and their lives. In Angola, women represent the majority of the national population, 52% of whom 37.6% or 4,996,610 reside in rural areas distributed in 25,289 localities. This work reflects on the way of life of rural women and the extent to which this compromises sustainability. The results obtained from the literature review indicate that with their reproductive work, rural women produce non-monetary wealth, contributing to the satisfaction of the needs of their families, their communities and society in general, and still confront the matrilineal system. Thus, the right to information through training is essential for a conscious integration and participation in the movement for change.
