In the heart of Northern Syria , rising from the ruins, there is an ecological village built by and for women of diverse backgrounds and faiths. With their bare hands they build their homes, their schools, and their farms. Amidst the vi olence, these w omen creat e a peaceful place for themselves and their children , free from the oppression of patriarchy, and in respect with nature. This is just one example from this year's Right to Food and Nutrition Watch (hereinafter, the Watch ) , as it continues to support the struggles of small - scale producers and those most affected by hunger and malnutrition.
