“…we know that we are going and we want to be killed and buried with our ancestors here where we are today, so we ask the Government and the Federal Justice not to decree our eviction/expulsion, but we request to decree our collective death and to bury us everybody here. We ask, once and for all, to decree our decimation and total extinction, in addition to sending several tractors to dig a large hole to throw and bury our bodies.”

Cultural Survival aims to strengthen Indigenous women radio journalists’ leadership and improve their participation in decision-making spaces. Three years ago, we initiated a project "for a more visible world in an invisible world", a process of capacity building and accompaniment in community radio journalism with an intercultural approach to gender adapted to the reality of Central America. In late 2018, we extended the project to Colombia and Mexico.
