Indigenous Women and Diversities Fundraising

Between May 22 and 25, the Argentina-based Movimiento de Mujeres Indígenas por el Buen Vivir (Movement of Indigenous Women for Good Living) is convening a gathering of Indigenous women in Salta, Argentina: the Third Plurinational Parliament on Indigenous Women and Diversities for Good Living. The main goal of this meeting is to discuss and establish community strategies to eradicate rape, sexual violence ("chineo"), and all forms of abuse against Indigenous female children and women.

Let's support them! Any amount will be a valuable donation. I will personally send the collected funds to them on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 (through MoneyGram).

 

Let's support this great initiative led by Indigenous women. They are women from 32 Native Nations committed to protecting and struggling for the land, water, and life. As they say,

 

"We are voices against Terracide; we are the guardians of the seed, defenders of water and the territories. They are assassinating us, raping our female children and polluting our bodies. We are in a humanitarian emergency. The system destroys life in all of its forms. The Indigenous genocide has not ended. While colonial racism makes us invisible, we struggle for Life."

 

"Somos las denunciantes del #Terricidio, somos las guardianas de la semilla, defensoras del agua y de los territorios. Nos están asesinando, violan a nuestras niñas y contaminan nuestras cuerpas. Estamos en emergencia humanitaria. El sistema destruye la vida en todas sus formas. El genocidio indígena no ha terminado. Mientras el racismo colonial trabaja para invisibilizarnos, nosotras luchamos por la vida toda." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ANmF4yzJis
