Chiapas: Indigenous women weaving territories of life in the crossfire – English/Spanish

By Delmy Tania Cruz Hernández July 2022 English version from debatesindigenas Spanish via thefreeonline

The Zapatista journey has marked the lives of Indigenous peoples and peasant communities with its teachings of autonomy and dreams of other possible worlds.

However, the southeast of Mexico continues to be plagued by extreme poverty and violence generated by criminal economies. In this context, the collective Fases de la Luna promotes educational processes of political training to eradicate violence against women and promote autonomy.

In southern Mexico, the light ignited by the Zapatistas during the First International Meeting of Women in Struggle is still illuminating and expanding.

Although there are strong winds that try to extinguish it, the collective Fases de la Luna (Phases of the Moon) is one of the many experiences of organized women who keep the flame glowing and seek to project it in their territories.

Located in the Chiapas-Guatemala migratory corridor, the organization cannot be explained without the struggle of the Zapatista communities and peoples.

Many of the women’s organizations that are building community networks in the communities and towns of Chiapas are echoing the Zapatistas, the hope of building autonomy and the revolutionary ideas promoted by Liberation Theology.

Extreme poverty and violence in Chiapas

Twenty-eight years have passed since the uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN): the social movement that marked the history of the country for daring to walk an emancipatory political and ideological path from an Indigenous perspective.

In spite of the low intensity warfare promoted by the state and federal governments, the insurgent movement is still alive. In this historical process, women have occupied a key place and their presence is notable in all areas of work: promoters of education, health, agro-ecology, insurgents, militias, sub-commanders and female drivers.

After two years of pandemic, the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) reports that Chiapas is the state with the highest index of population living in extreme poverty.

In addition to its precarious situation, several processes marked by violence converge in Chiapas: the migrant route, criminal economies that tend to control the territory, drug trafficking, militarization and forced displacement.

The crossfire disrupts the daily life of the communities and, in these scenarios of terror, adult and young women are the most affected because of their gender condition.

Since mid-2021, in the Comitán-Huehuetenango border corridor, several confrontations with firearms have been observed in the municipalities of Frontera Comalapa and La Trinitaria.

Although government agencies have not mentioned the identity and origin of the criminal groups, people who live in the area mention that the violence is due to the dispute over territory between the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación and the Sinaloa Cartel.

Simbolizan y recuerdan a los muchos anónimos que dieron su vida por los ideales de libertad y justicia social”. Y abajo, una cita de Durruti: “Llevamos un mundo nuevo en nuestros corazones”.

Story at-a-glance

The first COVID shots rolled out in December 2020, and it didn’t take long before doctors and scientists started warning of possible reproductive effects, as the jab may cross-react with syncytin and reproductive genes in sperm, ova and placenta in ways that might impair reproduction

According to one recent investigation, 42% of women with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after vaccination; 39% of those on gender-affirming hormone treatments reported breakthrough bleeding, as did 71% of women on long-acting contraceptives and 66% of postmenopausal women.
