Mujeres de viento, tierra y ganado (Women of wind, earth & livestock)

In the ten-years since Ganaderas en Red (GeR) was founded, this Spanish coalition of women shepherds, pastoralists, and livestock keepers have set an example about how to structure a network through which they can offer mutual support to each other. They now include over 200 women connecting across 30 different areas in Spain. The NGO Fundación Entretantos has facilitated processes for this network to flourish. The significance of GeR is captured in the 2023 documentary, “Mujeres de viento, tierra y ganado” (Women of wind, land and cattle). GeR describes it saying, “This documentary reflects who we are, our love for animals and our craft. Six years after our creation we felt the need to convey our unity and put a face to a network of women working towards a living, fair and equal rural world”
