In Panama, indigenous women from the Emberá-Wounaan community completed a few days ago
the School of Feminist Economics and Politics and Economic Alternatives.
The women of this territory sustained this collective effort with a commitment to the defence of life
and developed a pedagogical process within their community. Throughout this process, and
always from the perspective of indigenous women, they worked on issues such as the defence of
territory, the protection of land and nature and, at the same time, they identified all the risks to
which their life and the ecosystem that sustains it are subjected.
Organising, fighting and resisting, from their bodies and their territories, are alternatives that
women continue to sustain, as well as their active participation and leadership in the life decisions
of their communities.
In the process of the feminist school, 30 women from 9 communities in the area were trained.
