We need to use the same rules, but for our benefit, because we are discussing and defending our collective intellectual properties. We are not struggling in the practice in our community.
Imagine dedicating your life to uplifting an entire community. That's exactly what Tarcila Zea Rivera has done for over 25 years. In this compelling episode of 'Empathetic Witness', Angelina Pratt sits down with Tarcila, the President of RESIDENTA DEL CONSEJO DIRECTIVO of Chirapaq in Lima, Peru, to discuss her tireless activism for Indigenous women and children.
With the help of Marie, their interpreter, the conversation dives deep into Tarcila's efforts to improve nutrition for Indigenous children using native foods as a form of cultural affirmation. Tarcila’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From her roots in Ayacucho to international forums in Nairobi, Cairo, Beijing, Durban, and the United Nations, she has been a powerful voice advocating for Indigenous rights.
One of her significant achievements is the creation of the Indigenous Women's World Forum (FIMI), which focuses on leadership advocacy, funding initiatives, and addressing violence against Indigenous women. Angelina and Tarcila explore various pressing issues such as intellectual property rights, commerce, and systemic racism. Tarcila emphasizes the critical role of education in empowering Indigenous communities, highlighting how oppressive systems can be without it.
The episode also touches on the feminist movement's debate between collective and individual rights and delves into the meaning of gender issues within Indigenous contexts. This episode is not just an interview; it's a testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of justice. Whether you're interested in social activism, Indigenous rights, or simply want to hear an inspiring story, this conversation offers valuable insights and hope.
