Women-led Organizations

Since late 2015, our intercultural network includes one regional and four local NGOs, all led by indigenous women. These organizations are the foundation for an intercultural, regional rights-based movement of indigenous women working with their Regional Cooperative and PSYDEH to implement their own sustainable Development Agenda

As diagramed (RIGHT), each NGO is independent and legal and yet part of the larger network, with the Regional CSO focusing on cross-municipality solutions to problems and regional pilot projects, and the local CSOs focusing on municipality-specific solutions to problems and local pilot projects. Each is:

  • managed by their respective women leaders who are elected by their peers (using basic majority-rule principles) to sit on their respective boards — president, secretary, treasurer and two alternates,
  • raises their own funds for projects and sets their own strategic directions and goals, and 
  • coached by PSYDEH and invited to train and empowered to share learning and solutions to problems with one another and public officials at periodic public forums.
