Feminism in Zapatismo

Feminism in Zapatismo refers to the integration of women's rights and gender equality within the Zapatista movement in Mexico, which emerged in the 1990s advocating for indigenous rights and social justice. Zapatista feminists challenge traditional gender roles and promote women's leadership, participation, and autonomy in political and social spheres. They emphasize that struggles for social justice must include gender equality, recognizing that patriarchal structures often intersect with issues of class and ethnicity. This approach aims to empower women as vital agents of change, ensuring their voices are heard in the broader fight for human rights and dignity.
