Aug. 9 Indigenous People’s Day Video

Voiceover in Spanish:

Las mujeres son pilares esenciales en las comunidades y pueblos indígenas que juegan un papel crucial en la preservación y transmisión de las prácticas culturales, conocimientos y lenguas.

Pero a pesar del papel crucial que desempeñan en sus comunidades como sostén familiar, cuidadoras y trasmisoras, a menudo sufren niveles interseccionales de discriminación por los motivos de género, etnia y estatus socioeconómico.

Por eso Trickle up y MetLife Foundation reafirmamos nuestro compromiso del trabajo por el desarrollo de los pueblos indígenas en México y otras partes del mundo.

9 de agosto día internacional de los pueblos originarios.

Culture | Wisdom | Knowledge | Language | Commitment | Perseverance | Leadership

Women are essential pillars in indigenous communities, who play a crucial role in the preservation and transmission of cultural practices, knowledge, and languages.

Despite this crucial role they play in their communities as breadwinners, caregivers and conveyors of knowledge, they too often suffer intersectional levels of discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.

That’s why Trickle up and MetLife Foundation reaffirm our commitment to working for the social and economic inclusion of indigenous peoples in Mexico and other parts of the world.

August 9, International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
