Anti-patriarchal community feminism in Bolivia

In this keynote session, the speaker highlights the importance of this Summit as a meeting of the world, but a world committed to the transformation of the current patriarchal, capitalist, colonial and racist order. She raises the need to be coherent, to do what is said. In this sense, this conference aims to contribute to the construction of another possible world, for which it is necessary to understand how the system works. The world is sending us signals of the damage being caused to nature and humanity. This transformation is only possible if there is a commitment from the institutions, the people and the community. The speaker speaks from her life experience as an indigenous Aymara woman and feminist. She invites us to recover the memory and ancestral knowledge for the emancipation of the peoples. When she speaks of the need to build another possible world, the speaker refers to Good Living as the cosmogony of indigenous peoples. Good Living is based on respect for nature, reciprocity, complementarity and life as a community. Good Living is the opposite of the capitalist, patriarchal, colonial and racist system.
