Indigenous Women to Climate March
Deducible
Indigenous women delegation to the People’s Climate March in Washington DC this April 29th
It’s not easy to defy the systematic pressure indigenous people confront everyday in order to keep our territories protected from destruction and contamination. Fossil fuel extraction, deforestation and lack of access to alternative economic income often lead to a loss of culture ancestral languages, and land sovereignty.
The Hakhu project, as we have called it, is at the forefront of women-led movements pushing the recognition of the important role of women in indigenous groups. We are challenging the current economic conditions of our villages, where women often have limited opportunities to generate sustainable alternative income other than fossil fuel extraction and deforestation. The Hakhu project is starting this new journey among an incredibly motivated group of strong women, whose goal is to defend their territory and the planet while preventing the disappearance of traditional art forms and techniques.
Hakhu hopes to bring an indigenous women delegation to the People’s Climate March in Washington DC this April 29th and walk along our indigenous brothers and sisters during this time of uncertainty for the people and for the planet. We know that the struggles of the indigenous people of the North are as big and as important as those in the South, and we need our voices to be heard. Let’s build an international civil society movement for Global Climate Justice.
Climate change is real, and we need to act now.
Please help indigenous leaders bring their message to the People’s Climate March in DC this April 29th.
In Solidarity,
