Deni/Kanamari women at the 3rd Indigenous Women’s March

With support from the Ecumenical Coordination of Service’s (CESE) Small Projects Programme, the Aspodex Association (Association of the Deni People of the Xeruã River), led by Pha Avi Hava Deni, of the Deni people, took part in the 3rd Indigenous Women’s March in Brasília (Distrito Federal). The CESE initiative allowed them to take part in one of the largest indigenous mobilizations in Brazil.

According to Pha Avi Hava, the association has worked in partnership with CESE in previous projects, which encouraged them to apply to the Small Projects Programme. “CESE gave us the support we needed, so that the women could take part in the march in Brasilia, which was a very important achievement for our community,” she said.
