OUR PEOPLE
WOMEN IN THE KICHWA COMMUNITY
Women in the Kichwa communities of the Amazon are in charge of harvesting, collecting firewood, preparing food for their homes, and making handicrafts, among other things. Resistance to attempts to extract resources in their area has been one of the most important roles these women have played. They have learned to raise their voices and continue to fight for the conservation of the Amazon.
