Resolution 2: on the Rights of Women Recyclers

The 1st Elective Congress notes:

Whereas, according to the Constitution of the International Alliance, in its articles 7.1.11; 7.2.5 and 7.4.4 establishes the participation of at least 50% of women and non-binary or trans people within the governance structure of the International Alliance and among its delegates.

Recognizing that the role of women has been positioned worldwide, that the visibility of waste pickers has been promoted, and given that in several countries the population composition of the recycling movement is more than 50% of women heads of household

Therefore, it is resolved:

1. Guarantee the participation of women and non-binary people in the decision-making of the International Alliance by defining standards that ensure non-discrimination.
2. Guarantee the participation of women in decision-making in all affiliated countries of the International Alliance and in their organizations.
3. Build a prevention and action protocol against acts of violence and discrimination against women.
4. Promote training and educommunication actions on the importance of women’s role.
