During our second fieldwork visit to Junín in August 2021, we spent time supporting the OMIAASEC hermanas to develop their own manifesto of concerns. Ideas were developed and discussed in workshop format through individual and groupwork, initial results of which are shown here.

The various ideas and designs were then brought together to create a document, shared and agreed with the group.

This manifesto forms the basis and inspiration for conversations with local, national and international stakeholders about the urgent needs of the indigenous communities (Asháninka and Yanesha) of the Central Amazon of Peru, from the perspective of the young women leaders of OMIAASEC.
