We train Indigenous women to step into positions of leadership and decision making.

Through mentorship and a professional network, we support women leaders’ journeys in civil society and make their impact visible

Our strategic plan guides the work of Mujeres Liderando and defines the actions that strengthen Indigenous women’s leadership, promote their participation in decision-making spaces, and generate sustainable impact in their communities.

Impact and reach

Our work is reflected in measurable results and a strong territorial presence.

Areas of action

A comprehensive model that combines training, ongoing support, and a professional network to strengthen leadership journeys.

Complementary training

The initial stage of the fellowship focuses on strengthening knowledge and providing specific strategic tools so women leaders can better exercise their leadership within collective spaces.

Professional Development Diploma

It provides training in technical and critical skills for management roles, along with language learning (Maya or English) to support professional development.

Professional exchange and mutual support network

A consolidated space for professional exchange for those who have completed the diploma, promoting collective learning, collaboration across cohorts, and mutual support among Indigenous and community women leaders.

Real stories of growth, voice, and decision-making in civil society.

Being part of AMLG made an important difference for me. Listening to other women, seeing them step into different spaces, and sharing their experiences was deeply comforting and motivating. It reminded me that we can dream and fight for more, even in the face of barriers. This experience gave me confidence, strengthened my leadership, and helped me recognize my value and potential.

Lily Ajú, Participant, 2nd cohort

From a young age, it is important for girls to have opportunities to raise their voices, take part in activities, and feel that they belong in society, regardless of their gender. I see this even in simple things, like encouraging my cousins to participate in school activities. That is where leadership begins. I dream of a country where girls and women can step into any space they choose.
