Rebel Women in the Zapatista Movement

Hey everyone!

Here is a link to a news article published about recent meetings by Zapatista women. They congregated to tell their stories as female activists-- and to organize against the exclusion of women (especially lesbians) from political decision-making in the EZLN-- while men were ordered to stay at home and tend to the families and farms.

Here also is an image I found from google.images. Not necessarily from the particular meeting mentioned in the article, but just to give you a visual.

Abrazos,
