Mudgirls are a not-for-profit collective of female natural builders founded in 2005 and based on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada. They build a variety of freestanding structures and additions for each other, as well as helping others build their own, and sharing natural building skills through affordable workshops. ==Principles== Mudgirls promote the use of natural, local, and recycled materials, and are committed to the principles of sustainable development espoused by the permaculture movement. Although they sometimes collaborate with male craftspeople and welcome men as clients and workshop participants, Mudgirls are strictly a women's collective. Part of their mandate is to empower women with employment and the skills in the traditionally male-dominated field of construction. This associates them with the feminism and ecofeminism movements. Free childcare is provided at all Mudgirls events to encourage mothers to participate. Mudgirls promote non-capitalist business practices and economic accessibility. Their wages and material costs are low in order to keep their fees low, and encourage alternative economic systems such as barter. Mudgirls have non-hierarchical organization. All members earn the same wages and are encouraged to share responsibilities equally. Decision are made in a consensus-based manner using nonviolent communication. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mudgirls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
