EZLN Women

The EZLN, or Zapatista Army of National Liberation, is a revolutionary group in Mexico that emerged in the 1990s, advocating for indigenous rights and social justice. Within this movement, women play a crucial role, emphasizing gender equality and empowerment. Zapatista women actively participate in decision-making, community organizing, and resistance efforts against oppression. They challenge traditional gender roles and advocate for their rights alongside broader social issues. Their involvement showcases a commitment to both indigenous identity and feminist principles, making them pivotal figures in the struggle for dignity and autonomy in their communities.
