The Presidium is the result of a collaboration between the Fundación Gran Chaco and the Cooperativa de Mujeres Artesanas del Gran Chaco (CO.M.AR.), and aims to combat the abandonment of the land, the impoverishment of the local diet and the resulting health problems.
CO.M.AR was founded in 2000 and is made up of eight associations, involving a total of around 1,600 women from the Wichi and Comle’ec ethnic groups. In the Argentinian Gran Chaco, the women traditionally take care of the house and the children.
