On the participation of the women in the community San Isidro Aloapam
We them women before, when the municipality and the agency took well, nonteniamos we right to participate in the assembly, to tequio and everything what the man does and mistreated eramos. Or Since when the agency I fight with its municipality or Since I arrive organizacion CIPO-RFM. Decia that the right teniamos women just as tenian the men. Since then we already began to participate to the assemblies and to other things but and no longer we are mistreated like before. Now our rights and
votes are worth and thanks to the CIPO-RFM.

Rights of the women


The men and the women we have such right, since in the Constitution it mentions it. We them women have the right to demand that we are respected and to have the same work that a man has and to have the same pay. Also we have the right to study, asi same we have the right to the vote, to give to our decision about that we want that he is our municipal representatives, state, federal. The right of not being mistreated, we have the right of oir and being listened.
We, like indigenouss women, previously nonsabiamos nothing on Politicall questions and either beneficiabamos us like women in the different projects that can be made with the resources of Branches 28 and 33, because single they say that they are municipal questions. But now as organizacion we know but or except the Politicall questions, of those who they have pressed to us and we have had the opportunity to work in productive projects.
Because in spite of everything, we are human and we have feelings and because we deserve respect.

Until dying to us - I create we are going to rest...


The women we straight have also, because it also has one work, one makes all the works in the house.
The women have but work, because because they must grind, then, and to make the tortilla. Finishing this it is necessary to sweep, to wash and if we have animalitos we must go to the field. And she already arrives afternoon. It is necessary to cook nixtamal, is necessary to cook again. She never finishes, newspaper is the same, until dying to us, I create, we are going to rest. When the men go to the field we make its tHereto.
The men make a single work, he is heavy, and they also get tired, but it is a single work, because if comes from the field to clean to the coffee plantation or milpa they estan tired, but already rest; a woman continues working.
In the community we also have our tequios and our meetings and the women
they must right to participate. To the women also they put position to him and they throw its cooperation for all the commissions, also if they are widows.
