Abstract:

The Women Farmers Association of Slovenia (Svit) is a non-governmental organization with over 6,000 members. The association aims to empower and support women who are involved in farming and rural life in Slovenia. Their mission involves various activities, but one of the most crucial aspects is informing and raising awareness among their members, including education, advocacy, and community-building.
The association actively discusses health issues, particularly focusing on cancer awareness. Collaboration with Svit: The Women Farmers Association collaborates with the Svit Program to ensure that vital health information reaches rural communities effectively. SVIT is engaged in various other activities, namely: 1. Green Social Entrepreneurship Training - the association conducted a three-day national training on strengthening the role of rural women through green social entrepreneurship. This initiative aimed to address obstacles and challenges faced by rural women while defining their needs; 2. Empowering Women Farmers: The association recognizes that women farmers often face barriers that hinder their full productivity. By providing access to opportunities and resources, they aim to enhance productivity and improve food security.
The Women Farmers Association of Slovenia plays a vital role in supporting and informing its members, fostering community connections, and addressing health-related concerns
