Eufrosina’s Revolution

Eufrosina Cruz Mendoza is from Santa Maria Quiegolani, an indigenous community located in Oaxaca, Mexico. After she was denied the right of becoming president of her community, just because she was a woman, Eufrosina began a struggle to achieve gender equality in indigenous communities, questioning the uses and traditions and defying the zone’s chiefs.
