MANAUS (AM) – The current challenges of Latin American and Caribbean women was the theme of the “3rd Meeting of Women of Latin America and the Caribbean” and was held from Friday, 21, to Sunday, 23, at the University of Brasilia (UnB). The debate aimed at proposals for building a fairer and more sovereign continent for the female population.

The event was attended by about 1,000 women from more than 14 countries. The CEO of CENARIUM AMAZÔNIA NETWORK, Paula Litaiff, was one of the guests of the dialog tables and addressed the theme “Media”.

“In this area, we represent Amazonas in the debate on the search for financing alternatives for independent journalism and the strengthening of public TV aimed at serving the population”, said the journalist.

In the debates, participants shared experiences and discussed a common agenda of struggles of the feminist movement. Proposals for ending exploitation and oppression against women were also developed.
