Mujeres Zapatistas

Mujeres Zapatistas are women affiliated with the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico, that began in 1994. The movement advocates for indigenous rights, social justice, and autonomy. Women within this movement play active roles in community organization, decision-making, and resisting oppression. They challenge traditional gender roles and promote female leadership, education, and empowerment. Mujeres Zapatistas symbolize efforts to create a more equitable society by combining indigenous identity with gender equality, emphasizing collective autonomy and social change from the grassroots level.
