"Equality and Justice for Women, Including Women and Girls with Disabilities in Rural Areas"

Date: Monday, 16 October 2023

On the 15^th  of October, the world commemorates International Day of Rural Women to acknowledge the contributions of rural women to community development programs. The Community Based Rehabilitation Network Timor Leste (CBRN-TL) joins hands with Postal Authorities, Villages, and Communities in Ermera to celebrate International Day of Rural Women, recognizing and honoring the significant contributions made by women, both with and without disabilities, in rural areas, encompassing their roles in their youth, families, and communities. We also express our gratitude for the challenges they face in contributing to the creation of a better and more just future for everyone.

 

The situation in rural areas vividly illustrates that both women with disabilities and women without disabilities play a pivotal role in their families and communities. They remain integral to society, despite the economic challenges faced by their families and society at large. Their tireless efforts continue to make a significant impact on agricultural activities, households, and community development. Often, society underestimates the dedication exhibited by women with disabilities and women without disabilities in ensuring a better life for their families.

 

In 2023, the world marks this day under the theme "Rural Women Facing Global Living Costs." Timor Leste adopts the national theme "Women Ready to Lead from Everywhere and Always," with a sub-theme from the Community Based Rehabilitation Network Timor Leste (CBRN-TL) - "Equality and Justice for Women and Children with Disabilities in Rural Areas."

 

Equality and justice for women and children with disabilities in rural areas are essential to combat the stigma, discrimination, and various forms of violations experienced by women and girls with disabilities in families, communities, and society at large. Women and girls with disabilities in rural areas face challenges, starting with limited access to education, healthcare, justice, social services, restricted economic opportunities, and minimal representation in decision-making processes. These challenges perpetuate cycles of inequality that persist through generations. However, together, we can break these cycles, and this celebration offers us an opportunity to do so. We must collaborate to ensure that both women with disabilities and women without disabilities in rural areas have access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Additionally, we must strengthen policies and gender-sensitive initiatives that enable rural women to actively participate in community development. Their voices should be heard, their rights protected, and their potential realized.

 

Today, we unite with valuable insights from government entities such as the Ministry of Social Solidarity and Inclusion and the Ermera Municipality, PNTL - VPU Ermera Municipality, Local Authorities - Riheu Chief of Village, and Potential Women of Poetete Village. They share their experiences and contributions from their respective roles and responsibilities at the municipal, postal, village, and community levels. This collective effort should remind us that progress is not solely an individual endeavor but a collective one. Let us reaffirm our commitment to empowering both women with disabilities and women without disabilities in rural areas, as their empowerment is key to building a fair and sustainable future for all of us.

We firmly believe that through our dedication, we can rewrite the narrative for rural women. We can ensure that their contributions are acknowledged and appreciated, and that their rights receive the support they rightfully deserve. As we embark on this journey, let us do so with the understanding that empowering rural women is not merely an option, but an imperative for a world that is inclusive, sustainable, and just.

The Community Based Rehabilitation Network Timor Leste (CBRN-TL) will continue its programs to empower women with disabilities and women without disabilities to advocate for their rights in their communities, through collaborative efforts and support from Oxfam Timor Leste's Feminist Action Program and USAID's NGO Advocacy for Good Governance Activities.
