Mujer Triqui: Una Vida Construyendo La Paz / Triqui Woman

Mujer triqui es el extraordinario relato de una ni鎙 oaxaque鎙 que, a los cinco a隳s, pas?de vivir en un para疄o a buscar sobrevivir en un campo de batalla, donde aprendi?a empu鎙r un arma para defenderse, sobreponerse a la mayor de las angustias y desafiar un destino de violencia y pobreza.

Es el testimonio inaudito de Beatriz P廨ez L鏕ez, quien --de golpe-- fue arrojada a la lucha hist鏎ica de su pueblo contra caciques y actores externos que han lucrado con el enfrentamiento entre hermanos.

S鏊o que, tras toda una vida de resistencia --en el ocultamiento, los internados, el desplazamiento forzado, el activismo, la clandestinidad y la pol癃ica--, termin?buscando otra posibilidad para su naci鏮 ind璲ena: la reconciliaci鏮 y la paz.

En ese viaje, su propio pueblo la llev?hasta el Congreso de la Uni鏮, donde como diputada impuls?la reforma al Art獳ulo Segundo Constitucional, que en 2024 logr?el reconocimiento de los pueblos originarios como sujetos de derecho en M憖ico, con lo que al fin empez?a saldarse una deuda hist鏎ica.

As?que Mujer triqui tambi幯 es esa historia: la de miles de ind璲enas triquis que, incluso enfrentados, buscan d燰 a d燰 y decisi鏮 a decisi鏮 un M憖ico donde quepamos todos, por m嫳 distintas que sean nuestras convicciones.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the mountains of Oaxaca, there is a half-century war, ignored by millions... Right there, a story of resistance and unbreakable dignity was born.

Triqui Woman is the extraordinary tale of a little girl from Oaxaca who, at five years old, went from living in paradise to struggling to survive on a battlefield, where she learned to wield a weapon to defend herself, overcome the greatest anguish, and challenge a destiny of violence and poverty.

It is the unheard testimony of Beatriz P廨ez L鏕ez, who--suddenly--was thrown into her people's historic struggle against local chieftains and external actors who have profited from the conflict between brothers.

However, after a lifetime of resistance--in hiding, boarding schools, forced displacement, activism, clandestinity, and politics--she ended up seeking another possibility for her indigenous nation: reconciliation and peace.

On that journey, her own people took her to the Congress of the Union, where as a deputy she promoted the reform of Article Two of the Constitution, which in 2024 achieved the recognition of indigenous peoples as subjects of rights in Mexico, thus beginning to settle a historical debt.

So Triqui Woman is also that story: the story of thousands of Triqui indigenous people who, even when confronted, seek day by day and decision by decision a Mexico where we all fit, no matter how different our convictions may be.
