El 5 de septiembre se conmemora el Día Internacional de las Mujeres y Niñas Indígenas del Mundo, en honor a la fortaleza, el liderazgo y la resistencia de las mujeres Indígenas a lo largo de las generaciones.

La fecha conmemora a la guerrera aymara Bartolina Sisa, quien, junto a Túpac Katari, contribuyó a liderar la resistencia aymara-quechua contra la explotación colonial española en 1780.

*** PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION***

For the first time, the United Nations is officially commemorating the International Day of Indigenous Women and Girls, 40 years after Indigenous organizations and movements established September 5 as a day of advocacy and recognition.

Cultural Survival's community includes people from all walks of life, with beautiful stories to tell about why they decided to become advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights. Sharing these stories further connects our community, provides much-needed solidarity and validation to our staff and partners on the ground, and helps us inspire others to join our movement. We are excited to spotlight members and former interns of our community and highlight your contributions and perspectives through our Cultural Survival Spotlight series.
