We, Terra Development Cooperative, accept womanhood and manhood as being determined according to every single society’s historical conditions and power relations. We give priority to gender equality as a perspective by which we, together with LGBTI+ individuals, can struggle against inequalities and discriminating practices. So while approaching any kind of social problem and taking an action about it, we are adopting a perspective directed to ensure gender equality. We are adopting and prioritizing empowerment together with all the persons, groups, communities, public/private organizations with which we are in touch, in personal/psychological, discursive/cultural and social fields. Within this respect, we seek to develop relations with solidarity and collaboration. And we aim to form and maintain alliances for any kind of personal, social, cultural, and economic empowerment.
