 One of our delegates said it well. She said that the Creator has brought us together. It's no coincidence. The Spirit has been making connections between women across borders and across languages and across very different contexts. Deep connections. Somebody realized how many women were standing up at this mining conference, either counselors or chiefs, saying, what about the communities? Like, it's not just about jobs. What about our families? What about the food security issue? What about the water? The importance of family, the importance of the water, the importance on children. And we need the women to bring those issues to the table of negotiation and to be able to say no to a development project on those grounds, the grounds that the women will bring and then the community will decide. Thanks to Kairos, we have partnered with the indigenous women from South America, countries, and beyond. I have heard atrocious stories of violence, of murder, of all kinds of abuses by extractive industries, especially from Canadian companies. They are the ones who knows by heart and by their indigenous knowledge on how mining, for example, is going to impact on their food, how mining will impact on the animals, how mining will impact on the biodiversity. It's not that men don't live in the impact of mining. However, women live it in a different way and we believe it's much more violent. When we see that women are sexually harassed, when women are sexually raped, when they are persecuted in their communities, women are the ones who have much more contact with the water, by washing clothes, washing the clothes, the kitchen utensils, and all this water is contaminated by what is faced with new diseases. This is an important moment for Kairos. This marks the beginning of a new piece of work. We're honored that you want to be part of that. And what we hope is that this marks the beginning of a long and fruitful process that will result in a situation where the voices of indigenous women are heard and listened to and respected.
