Dissident Women

Without Dissident women, like the Zapatistas, the rights of indigenous women would be worse than they are today. Reading about these women who are fighting for their rights gives me hope for the future. Indigenous women have been pushed aside long enough, and I hope that in the future there will be big changes. Already, according to the reading, because of the Zapatista movement, other indigenous groups have started talking; this is what I'm hoping is a domino effect. Every human being deserves the right to live they way they want, in the place they want, with the people that they want. This reading was very eye opening to me because it shows that women are starting to say something, and have been in the past.
