southern Peru, freezing temperatures lash the faces of highland locals from May to August. This terrible cold also plays home to brave girls and women who fought discrimination and managed to attain basic education to get on in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>These Andean Aymara-speaking women set up organisations such as the Abya Yala Aymaran Women\u2019s Union (UMA), where they could get together to advocate for their rights and work to empower women in the communities. The UMA provides an essential contact and leverage tool for their sisters who live in the farthest settlements: radio.<\/p>\n<p>The studio may be simple, but it has everything it needs. Covered in a colourful Aguayo cloth, the table has four microphones to broadcast the voice of their Aymaran sisters. Every Thursday from six to seven in the evening, the Wi\u00f1ay Panqara programme is broadcast, hosted by the elder, Rosa Palomino. The Second World Conference of Indigenous Women opened on Thursday 12th August and Wi\u00f1ay Panqara dedicated its entire show to the event. <\/p>\n<p>A traditional song opens the programme. When the music fades, Rosa Palomino welcomes all her sister listeners in their own native language. She wears a traditional black hat worn by Aymaran women and an Aguayo shawl to keep her warm in the cold mountain range over 4,000 metres above sea level. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Today the Second World Conference of Indigenous Women begins\u2026\u2019 states Palomino in Aymara, explaining where the event is being held, its global nature and what it is aiming for. Facing Rosa Palomino is the young Sulma Yucra, with braided hair and wearing a hoody, who explains how the coming days of the global meeting will debate advocacy strategies in decision-making spaces to recognise and protect the rights of Indigenous Women, whilst contributions from Indigenous Women themselves will be heard. Next to her, Judith Paucar explains how it is a global logistical effort by organisations from around the world.<br \/>\nOther sisters contribute through interviews and opinions from their communities. In Laconi, a village on the shores of Lake Titicaca in the district of Plater\u00eda, Elvira Ari comments on air that she is closely following the World Conference of Indigenous Women, although it is a little difficult for her to understand the Spanish interpreting; however, she truly grasps it all when the radio show summarises the proceedings in Aymara.<br \/>\nThe conference sessions are held in four languages with simultaneous interpreting in English, Spanish, Russian and French. The UMA broadcasts the sessions with the Spanish interpreting, and then summarises the content in Aymara. Like Elvira, over 150,000 people listen to the radio in their native language. In Peru alone, over half a million people speak Aymara. If we add in the Aymaran languages spoken in Bolivia and Chile, there are over two million Aymara speakers in the Andean mountain range.<br \/>\nElvira Ari recounts during Wi\u00f1ay Panqara that she was surprised that countries as far away as Russia were home to Indigenous Women with similar struggles to those faced by Aymaran women. And that their clothes were also colourful and vibrant!<\/p>\n<p>The Wi\u00f1ay Panqara programme is broadcast every Thursday from 6 to 7 pm on the same day as the sessions at the Second World Conference. This coincidence helps our Aymaran sisters feel part of the event too. Aymaran women are entrepreneurs but lack internet access; this lack of social network familiarity makes it difficult for them to register and participate in digital community spaces.<br \/>\nIn light of this, the radio brings the conference home to them with debates on rights, problems, proposals and events at grassroots social organisations, with the aim of \u2018leaving no one behind and moving forward together\u2019, as one of the event\u2019s slogans puts it.<br \/>\nThe opening session on Thursday 12th August reviewed \u2018paths taken and our realities\u2019\u2014a reflection on the Indigenous Women\u2019s movement\u2019s progress and the processes put together in the run up to the Second World Conference of Indigenous Women.<br \/>\nOn 19th and 26th August, the UMA and the Puno Region Indigenous Communicator Network closely followed the conferences and work sessions, where elder sisters shared their organisational experience with younger attendees.<br \/>\n\u2018Global work is difficult if you do not do local work. The work done comes from the efforts of local women and it is important to know the space before undertaking any work,\u2019 underlined Dr Myrna Kay Cunningham from La Mosquitia in Nicaragua, underlining the importance of grassroots organisations.<br \/>\nSome of what they shared was heard, communicated and translated on the Wi\u00f1ay Panqara radio show. To do this, Mam\u00e1 Rosa Palomino introduces them from the studio:<br \/>\n\u2018Everyone pay attention, quiet please, we\u2019re going to listen the great Indigenous Woman and Leader who is hugely committed to Indigenous Women\u2019s processes and who is a teacher for me, so let\u2019s listen,\u2019 states Palomino into the microphone in the studio where the words of Myrna Kay Cunningham are translated into Aymara.<br \/>\nSulma Yucra and Virginia Salcedo, two Indigenous Youths aged 19 and 23, smile timidly and happily in the studio. They are following the world conference closely to broadcast it in Aymara to Indigenous Women in Peru and around the world.<br \/>\n\u2018Building alliances with different sectors to build strength and see whether what we are planning is doable; not being afraid of occupying spaces we have promoted where, at times, we give way to men or other people,\u2019 states Myrna Kay Cunningham from FILAC.<br \/>\n\u2018Our demands should be not just as women but as women from communities and Indigenous Peoples with collective rights,\u2019 she continues. \u2018We should respect ourselves and not be the ones denigrating the work that other Indigenous Women are doing. We need to add, learn and create,\u2019 she states, inviting organisations and women to be united and think collectively.<br \/>\nOn the third day of the conference, 26th August, it was important to look inside the Indigenous Women\u2019s Movement and at how and where new struggles are being organised. The intervention by our sister Jacinta Silakam from the pastoralist communities of Kenya was vital; she spoke about the importance of support and empowerment for Indigenous Women with disabilities. These women remain in communities and have the same ability to internalise knowledge, share it and be vessels of wisdom which they can impart to future generations and the entire community.<br \/>\nOur Wayu sister and Venezuelan parliamentarian, Noel\u00ed Pocaterra, underlined the importance of humility, humanity and collective Indigenous values\u2014profound words that encourage Indigenous Organisations and provide advice on how the world needs a female perspective. \u2018What lessons have you learnt as an Indigenous leader?\u2019 Pocaterra was asked by the moderator of the session. She replied:<br \/>\n\u2018Learning, building my identity was what I learnt from my family. From the time I was born until the age of 12, my learning was led by my grandmother and aunt, women with an oral tradition who did not speak Spanish. My classrooms were in different settings: the kitchen, going out for firewood, going for water, everyday life, loving nature, loving thy neighbour, respecting elders, boys and girls.\u2019<br \/>\nShe continued: \u2018They showed me not to judge but to first investigate; they showed me the importance of the little things, a sense of gratitude, resisting a culture that excluded us.\u2019<br \/>\nPocaterra\u2019s approach is focused on helping others; this is what her mother taught her, encouraging her to study and understand other cultures, including western culture. She is proud of her ancestral past and Indigenous learning in her community. Her strength has been to understand others and developing tolerance, \u2018but be no fool,\u2019 as she stresses.<br \/>\nPocaterra insisted on working with girls, boys and youths in the community so that a sense of identity endures. She also stressed speaking in our native languages and ensuring that future generations feel proud of their culture in order to stand up to discrimination. Moreover, she would encourage these types of activities and workshops to continue, as well as being present at the United Nations, the Permanent Forum and in as many representation spaces as possible.<br \/>\nAfter hearing the many contributions, the conference came to close on Thursday 2nd September. The days were filled with communication, learning and sharing over Wi\u00f1ay Panqara and social networks, although radio was the main source for Indigenous Aymaran Women.<br \/>\nWi\u00f1ay Panqara will continue to recount the progress made by Indigenous Women. In response to the contributions heard, the following words echo in the studio, bringing the broadcast to a close: \u2018Jallalla, long live Indigenous Women!
