International Indigenous Women's Day

In 1983, during the Second Meeting of Organizations and Movements of America in Tiahuanacu, Bolivia, September 5 was defined as the International Day of Indigenous Women, vindicating in the figure of Bartolina Sisa the struggle of indigenous women against all types of oppression.

Of Aymara origin, she and her partner Túpac Katari organized their people to fight against Spanish rule. In 1781, Bartolina was captured and subjected to the most terrible treatment, and Katari was brutally murdered. On September 5, 1782, she was executed by the conquistadors who saw in her and her people the limit to their lust for conquest.

CLACSO joins this commemoration that gives visibility to the women of all the native peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean who fought and continue to fight for the recognition and defense of their rights.
