Named in honour of Comandanta Ramona, an indigenous leader of

in promoting women’s
participation & leadership
in the Zapatista movement & remains
an inspiration to women throughout México & the world.

These blouses, huipiles, bags, cushion covers, etc.
are made by indigenous Zapatista women from autonomous communities in
Chiapas, Mexico.
When you buy these beautiful & original creations,
you are supporting their autonomy in local government, education, healthcare & other
areas essential to a dignified life.
Much of their creations carry the symbols of
their struggle; the
snail is the caracol, the centre of organizing & local government
in each region;
the cornstalk with people in balaclavas - the men & women of
corn (as the Mayan people are known) in struggle.
EZLN stands for
the Zapatista Army for National Liberation - which
rose up publicly in 1994 against the marginalization & oppression
that indigenous & poor people in Mexico suffer. Although
the Zapatista women, men & children continue to suffer constant
threats & repression from the Mexican government, they continue
to struggle… for a world where many worlds fit.
