ROBLES SANTANA, María Aránzazu. Weaving Spaces of Participation and Social Justice. Civil Society Organizations and Indigenous Migrant Women in the United States. Migr. Inter [online]. 2020, vol.11, e1868.  Epub 17-Feb-2021. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.1868.

This article explores the importance of civil society organizations that support indigenous migrant women’s rights in the states of Texas and California in the U.S. From the ethnographic work carried out through a decolonized, collaborative, and feminist methodology, a collaboration began with three organizations from the aforementioned states. This text will detail the actions carried out by these organizations to alleviate the obstacles faced by indigenous women in the country. The article focuses on two different migration scenarios: firstly, when women are intercepted and detained by the Border Patrol, and secondly when they reach their destination. Both migration situations involve complex and operational analyses by the organizations and the affected women.
