Indigenous Feminism

Indigenous feminism is a movement that centers the experiences and rights of Indigenous women and gender-diverse people within their communities and larger societies. It addresses the intersection of colonialism, racism, and sexism, recognizing how these issues specifically impact Indigenous identities. Indigenous feminists advocate for social justice, cultural reclamation, and the empowerment of Indigenous women, emphasizing the importance of traditional knowledge and practices. This approach challenges both patriarchy within Indigenous cultures and systemic oppression from colonial structures, promoting the idea that the liberation of Indigenous women is essential for the overall well-being of Indigenous communities.
