What happens when rural women have access to the resources, knowledge, and opportunities to turn their ideas into decisions and their decisions into changes?

This panel centers the voices of women from Guatemala who are strengthening their livelihoods, generating income, and leading transformations within their families and communities. Drawing from their experience, they will share what opportunities made those changes possible, what barriers persist, and what kinds of support and partnerships they need to move forward. For development partners, this will be an opportunity to listen directly to those experiencing these processes and reflect on how to invest in a way that strengthens leadership, economic autonomy, and the solutions the women themselves are building in their own communities.
