WHAT WE DO

Projects

We defend rights

We defend the rights of indigenous peoples, promoting their empowerment to bring their struggles and visions closer together with their own voice. We propose more fair and sustainable alternatives in the current context of economic, social and environmental crisis. We do this through a constant exchange with the peoples, getting closer to each other in the defense of mother earth and self-determination, and by spreading the word about the need to care for the environment, social justice and a transformation towards more supportive and inclusive societies.

We articulate our actions from a comprehensive perspective in a global setting and support rights processes.

In order to achieve these strategic objectives, we establish 4 fundamental instruments:

Cooperation

We support processes of social organization, training and political participation, (especially with women), legal defense of territories, sustainable agricultural production, teacher training and our own communication (radios, televisions, social networks and indigenous cinema ).

Communication

We carry out campaigns, actions, film forums, workshops and film festivals understanding communication as a key instrument to spread, raise awareness and inform about the reality and alternatives that come to us with their own voice from the indigenous peoples.

Incidence

We carry out general acts, specific reporting campaigns, and establish relations with administrations to defend specific cases of rights violations.

Research

We listen, research, collect, publish and disseminate materials that help us better understand the situation of the towns and decide the priorities of our actions.

International Conventions

There are more than 5,000 indigenous peoples in the world, who are often marginalized and suffer discrimination in countries’ legal systems. Governments must implement laws and policies that make the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) a reality.
