Description

Across Latin The us, indigenous women are organizing to challenge racial, gender, and class discrimination through the courts. Collectively, by engaging with more than a few types of law, they’re forging new definitions of what justice and security mean within their own contexts and struggles. They’ve challenged racism and the exclusion of indigenous people in national reforms, but also have challenged ‘bad customs’ and gender ideologies that exclude women within their own communities.
 
Featuring chapters on Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico, the contributors to Demanding Justice and Security include both leading researchers and community activists. From Kichwa women in Ecuador lobbying for the inclusion of specific clauses in the national constitution that guarantee their rights to equality and protection within indigenous community law, to Me’phaa women from Guerrero, Mexico, battling to protected justice throughout the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for violations committed in the context of militarizing their home state, this book is a should-have for any individual who wants to remember the struggle of indigenous women in Latin The us.
