"Long before I was even aware of climate change, I was impacted by the oil industry as a child. When I was eight years old, an oil company entered our lands although we had made our opposition very clear."
– Nina Gualinga, Kichwa Woman Defender of the Amazon

Indigenous women throughout the Amazon Basin are on the front lines of the movement for climate justice. Their visionary leadership calls out and confronts oil extraction, mining, deforestation, violations of Indigenous collective rights, and violence against women – an epidemic increasing from climate change.

Indigenous women lead as collective land defenders, protecting the Amazon and one another. Says Nina Gualinga, “Being able to stand with each other as women and sisters has been really important for all of us. The work I was doing previously has now expanded to become about sisterhood, about healing, about inclusion, about love.”
