We are here to carry the voices of the rural women who cultivate our heritage and pave the way for the future
Héméra Initiatives
To act for women is to act for the world
In Mediterranean rural areas, thousands of women are creating innovative structures. From cooperatives to agro-tourism facilities, they are actively engaged in sharing their heritage. In doing so, they not only create spaces for socialization, strengthen their status in the agricultural sector and achieve greater financial independence, but they also greatly contribute to the sustainable, economic and cultural development of their communities!
Our 3 goals
To protect
By creating common funds and promoting the exchange of best practices
To carry
By producing reports and representing them in political bodies
To share
By highlighting their actions in favor of heritage preservation, equality and sustainable development in rural areas through documentaries and publications

What about grants for farmers ?
“Honestly, without money, you can’t do much. Every time, I arrive too late or every time, I arrive too early and it’s never the right time. And sometimes, it’s true that it’s discouraging. I think in the agricultural world, we should reflect on:
– Where do the grants go? To whom?
– How does it help agriculture?
– How is it distributed? And does it really go to the right place?”
Tomorrow, tourists will go to the farm.
Over the past 10 years, a new, more sustainable form of tourism has taken hold in the Mediterranean basin: agrotourism. In this tourism experience, rurality is not just a location, but the very source of interest. Residents, local products, agricultural know-how, landscapes, social practices, culinary specialties and much more are to rural tourism what historical monuments are to mass tourism.
Some numbers
Our Mission
In 2007, women performed 66% of the world’s work, produced 50% of the world’s food. but received only 10% of the income and owned 1% of the property. 17 years on, the situation remains critical for women on the job market(1). Statistics on this reality, especially in the Mediterranean, are very limited, which is why one of our missions is to provide more reports and thus put more light on this reality.
