El Hatillo是尼加拉瓜塞巴科河谷的一个农村社区，那里的资源基础不断侵蚀，贫困和营养不良程度很高，对灾害的敏感性很高。结构调整政策对小农和自给自足的农民是毁灭性的，增加了尼加拉瓜农村地区的经济、社会和环境边缘化程度。本文件探讨了尼加拉瓜在结构调整和环境退化的背景下促进可持续发展的举措。报告借鉴了在El Hatillo进行的定性研究，概述了该社区妇女试图应对农村贫困和环境风险的多重挑战的方式，并审议了这些战略在两性平等方面的潜力。
El Hatillo is a rural community in the Sebaco valley in Nicaragua, which suffers from an eroding resource base, high levels of poverty and malnutrition, and a high susceptibility to hazards. Structural adjustment policies have been devastating for small and subsistence farmers and have increased the level of economic, social and environmental marginalisation in rural Nicaragua. This paper explores initiatives to promote sustainable development in Nicaragua in the context of structural adjustment and environmental degradation. Drawing on qualitative research conducted in El Hatillo, it outlines the ways in which women in this community are attempting to address the multiple challenges of rural poverty and environmental risk and considers the potential of these strategies for gender equality.
