"Building Inclusive Communities: Tzeltal Women as Leaders of Social and Political Change"
With the support of UN Women, Xilotl is developing the project with the aim of the Network effectively influencing the municipal work agenda of Ocosingo, Chiapas, and contributing to the egalitarian and sustainable development of their communities.
To this end, a training program has been implemented with 5 training modules on Human Rights, Leadership, Gender Equality, Gender Violence, Management and Political Participation for active women leaders in 8 communities in the municipalities of Ocosingo and Chilón, Chiapas.
On December 10, coinciding with International Human Rights Day, a meeting was held between the participants of the project and the members of the Tzeltal Women's Network "Weaving together our dignified and just life".
The objective of the project was to analyze and share visions on the situation of women in each community, identify possible lines of change and develop a guide with the key issues that will serve as the basis for the formulation of the work plan that will be presented to the mayors of Ocosingo and Chilón.
The elements that affect women's participation in decision-making spaces and the actions that the Network must take to demand compliance with local and municipal authorities were also addressed.
A second meeting will take place on January 23 and 24 with the participation of comrades from organizations from Oaxaca, Guerrero, Tlaxcala and Quintana Roo.
This project is of great relevance, because it is important for the support of Tzeltal Women, which will contribute to their growth, development and strengthening of the women of the community.
