And the women of the husbands who are caregivers, who cares for them?

  • In 2007, five women from the village of Urola Kosta created the Hitzak association with the objective of improving the health of rural women. “We met in support groups aimed at caregivers, and after work, we registered the association in 2006,” explains Ana Mari Eizagirre. In fact, the five drivers were convinced that many women who cared about caring for others were unhealthy and mentally bad. In addition to baserritarras women, during these years they have organized numerous activities aimed at all citizens.

“When we created, more than a vacuum, I would say that things had to be shared between the baserritarras women,” says Eizagirre. In fact, one of the functions historically performed by women has been the care of other family members, even at home. “Peasant women have not taken place to express our experiences, difficulties, fears, joys and anxieties,” they explain in the group’s presentation. Together, sharing experiences, they started a group with the intention of dealing with the economic, emotional and social problems that all have.

“At the time when we were born, there were also no initiatives for the health of baserritarras women. The EBEL group was in progress, but was working mainly on the demand for rights,” he added. Since then, the members of the association are trying to meet this need and emptiness, proposing annually a program with workshops, conferences, formations and meetings. Many of these initiatives are organised in collaboration with Women's Houses, Rural Development Associations and other entities.

365 days a year, 15 October

The International Day of Women in Rural Areas has just been a day when they have had much to say and claim in the Hitza association, but it is clear that the work of the whole year is more important than just a day. And what have you done all year round? Asked this year, the baserritarra has presented a list of activities: they have organized a talk about the farmers’ regime with a lawyer, they have made meetings with migrant women, they have had a talk to know their own body, soap workshop…

“Each year we organize six or seven events, some aimed at women, but most open to all citizens.” In addition to these initiatives, a law firm has been set up in Aia for the baserritarras and an annual internship of women baserritarras is organized. “There are many things to improve, but many times what is most appreciated is going out, having coffee together or talking about a topic. And for this, it is necessary to create spaces,” he concludes.
