Indigenous Mexican Women Embrace Ancestral Practices to Reclaim Power
Indigenous women in the Costa Chica de Guerrero region of Mexico are reclaiming their power through ancestral practices and traditional midwifery. They have established Indigenous women's centers called CAMIs, which provide support for sexual and reproductive rights. These centers aim to address the challenges faced by Indigenous and Afro-descendant women, such as maternal deaths, marginalization, poverty, and discrimination. Through local actions and strategies, these women are working to improve maternal health and reproductive rights in their communities.
