** 6 Things to Do on
International Indigenous Women's Day
------------------------------------------------------------
September 5 is the International Day of Indigenous Women commemorated in honor of Aymara warrior Bartolina Sisa who in 1780, along with her husband Túpac Katari, led an important part of the Aymara-Quechua rebellion against the exploitation and abuse of Spanish colonizers in Peru.

While too many women all over the world are still affected by violence and rights abuses, it is important to recognize the amazing work Indigenous women are doing to make change happen. They are movement builders, system shakers, stewards of ecosystems, community caretakers, and working towards a transformative, equitable, and just future for all of our relations. On this International Indigenous Women's Day stand in solidarity with women as they fight to assert their rights. Join us in this action to honor, uplift, and resource Indigenous women's leadership ([link removed]) , so that next year we will have even more to celebrate!

Día Internacional de la Mujer Indígena
------------------------------------------------------------
El 5 de septiembre es el Día Internacional de la Mujer Indígena que se conmemora en honor a la guerrera aymara Bartolina Sisa quien en 1780, junto a su esposo Túpac Katari, encabezó una parte importante de la rebelión aymara-quechua contra la explotación y abuso de los colonizadores españoles en el Perú.

Si bien muchas mujeres en todo el mundo todavía se ven afectadas por la violencia y los abusos de derechos, es importante reconocer el increíble trabajo que están haciendo las mujeres Indígenas para lograr cambios. Son constructoras de movimientos, agitadoras de sistemas, administradoras de ecosistemas y cuidadoras de comunidades que trabajan por un futuro transformador, equitativo y justo para todas nuestras relaciones. En este Día Internacional de la Mujer Indígena, solidarícese con las mujeres que luchan por hacer valer sus derechos. ¡Únase a nosotros en esta acción para honrar, enaltecer ybrindar recursos al liderazgo de las mujeres Indígenas ([link removed]) , para que el próximo año tengamos aún más que celebrar!
