Yesterday, nearly 3,000 indigenous women leaders from across Brazil 
staged a mobilization in the nation’s capital as part of the country’s 
first Indigenous Women's March. Entitled "Territory: our body, our 
spirit,” this historic gathering was in response to escalating 
violations of indigenous rights under the Bolsonaro government, as 
native peoples and their lands fall increasingly under assault.

“Ever since Bolsonaro said that there will not be one more centimeter 
of land demarcated for indigenous peoples we have marched because, 
with this affirmation, he declared war not only on indigenous peoples 
but also on indigenous women,” Sônia Guajajara said. “This totally 
authoritarian, conservative government seeks to erase and exploit our 
territories, negating our right to exist.”

"We came to denounce the president’s hateful discourse, which has 
increased violence and destruction in our territories, which directly 
impacts us women. We are counting on international solidarity to 
advance this movement for our future.”
