Previous data from the new edition of the Map of Indigenous Women's Organizations will be presented for collective checking during the Terra Livre Camp, in Brasília
With the aim of putting indigenous women's organizations on the map, the National Articulation of Indigenous Women Warriors of Ancestrality (Anmiga) in partnership with the Instituto Socioambiental (ISA) carries out, between the 22nd and 26th of April, a collective checking and validation of previous data from the 2nd edition of the Map of Indigenous Women's Organizations in Brazil, during the Terra Livre Camp (ATL), in Brasília.
The action takes place in the Anmiga tent and during the plenary session "Women Biomes in the construction of agendas towards COP 30", on Tuesday (23/04), at 16pm.
The data presented is a continuation of the first edition of the Map, from 2020, which registered 92 organizations in 21 States. Using a new methodology, the second edition is based on an unprecedented collaborative survey carried out with Anmiga. “The estimate is that the number of organizations will grow three times, demonstrating the strength of the indigenous women's movement in the country”, points out Luma Ribeiro Prado, analyst at ISA's Indigenous Peoples in Brazil Program.
The action makes up one of the essential phases for consolidating the new edition of the Map, which is scheduled to be launched in September and aims to increase the visibility of these associations and their territories of activity.
The ATL, where the action will be hosted, reaches its 20th edition in 2024. Since 2016, the event has had a plenary session of women, where indigenous people from different peoples come together to strengthen action in the territories. It was from these meetings that, in 2019, the 2023st March of Indigenous Women was born. The March is currently considered the largest mobilization of indigenous women in the country, and took more than eight thousand people to the streets of Brasília in XNUMX.
Organizer of the Indigenous Women's March and partner in producing the map, Anmiga is an organization of women originating from the country's six biomes – Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal. Through collective construction, they seek to strengthen the fight for good living and for their territories, based on the protagonism of women and the valorization of their traditional knowledge.
The new mapping makes evident the growth and strengthening of indigenous women's organizations, associations, collectives, movements, departments and secretariats. In 2023, these mobilizations were a prominent theme in the book Indigenous Peoples in Brazil 2017-2022, from ISA, which, in addition to the thematic booklet, also covered the results found in the survey carried out for the first edition of the Map, in 2020.
