Mission statement:	We question the development model implemented in the country, because it is anti-ecological, inequitable and exclusionary. Through our work we highlight our rejection of large-scale productive activities that undermine the collective and environmental rights of local communities. Our work is based on the recognition that the national situation also responds to external forces and local realities, which is why in our management we consider the local, national, regional and global spheres. Special emphasis has been placed on the impacts generated by the extractive industry in the indigenous territories and in women belonging to ethnic minorities
