6/29 Lecture – Role of women of Indigenous Cultures in Oaxaca– CIESAS

Dr. Margarita Dalton Ph.D enthralled us all with her talk on this very interesting topic. We watched a video she made when interviewing women over a period of time who became mayors of their towns. Although many were elected, or invited to hold this office because it was deemed dangerous for the men to do so, several of them went forward to make a huge impact on their community. However, this was after enduring threats on their lives; being ignored when attending meeting.
