Ethel Wion: “Women use the forest for survival – food, energy, medicines, ownership, travel certificates; women are the management team in the forests.”
Apsara Chapagain: “Community forestry is … a social-inclusion process involving water, agricultural and forest resources. It is also about equality in the distribution of benefits, social justice, social mobilization, and democratic norms and values.”
Grecia Lopez: “We stress gender equity and our men are no longer blindfolded. They no longer believe that women should stay at home.”
