LAS ROSAS GENDER EQUALITY PROJECT
(Formerly ‘Las Marias Gender Project’) La Plata, Huila, Colombia September 2016 to August 2017 - Project update
In February of 2016, RGC teamed up with Solidaridad1 to implement the Las Rosas Gender Equality Project (formerly known as Las Marias Gender Project) which benefits 300 women coffee growers and their families, all of whom are members of the Association of Women Coffee Growers of West of Huila (Asociación de Mujeres Cafeteras del Occidente del Huila).
This initiative is guided by two main components: Financial Management and Women’s Participation (a component of Gender Equality), to improve their farming operations and the quality of life for their families.
Within the component of women’s participation, the Gender Action Learning for Sustainability methodology (aptly nicknamed GALS) has been used to monitor the current state of gender equality within the group and to identify aspects such as: roles and functions of family members in coffee cultivation, land tenure, financial management, and decision making.
The implementation of this methodology helps the community to, “develop new visions for relationships between women and men as equal partners, and implement changes in gender inequalities in resources and power.”

Dark City Coffee
Founded in 1995 by David Thompson, Dark City is an extension of a coffee shop called Coffee Tree, opened up by David and friends. Coffee Tree was the first street front retail coffee roaster in Toronto opening in 1987. Dark City’s main focus back then was roasting coffee, daily, in plain view of our customers, even taking on special requests for single pounds. The concept expanded on the roaster/ cafe concept by adding a full-on restaurant, including bar, and live jazz every week. There were poetry readings, special guest performers and after hour parties. Located at 307 Danforth Avenue, it became one of the coolest places to go in Riverdale. After shutting down the Danforth location, in 1999, Dark City became solely dedicated to roasting and delivering the finest, freshest coffee, directly to our customer’s homes. Dark City has never advertised and never followed trends. When large chains came along with their dark roast everything, |
we wouldn’t do it. It is almost criminal to over-roast high quality coffee and lose all of the subtleties in exchange for charred carbon taste.
When Dark City started, nobody was doing fresh roast, delivered to your door the next day. Now there are endless knockoff roasters doing the very same thing. They might be cheaper too, but at what price to you? To be honest, Dark City has never been too concerned with the cost of the coffees we buy. There is only one principal we adhere to, and that is this: Any coffee we sell you must have to make your knees buckle or do backflips! |
