“Native women voices”, supported by the Chanel Foundation for the Advancement of Women and Girls and the Ministry of Culture and Overseas France, was launched on December 10, 2018. This platform aims to carry and disseminate the voice of indigenous women throughout the world, women who, in their way of being, acting and thinking, are a laboratory of ideas for tomorrow.
