Peru APROCASIVER, part of the Sierra Verde Andean Coffee Producers Association, is a member of a women’s organization founded by women in Peru to help female farmers in remote coffee communities who face a host of challenges. Many live in male-dominated societies and hold little financial control or decision-making power. In 2003, over 450 women farmers in northern Peru decided to separate their coffee production from the men’s, creating their own product and income. This women’s organization has come to support social justice and empowerment for women coffee producers worldwide.
