Las Marías of Azacualpa: Internet for Raising Women’s Voices 8/2/2018 Internet
Society: "This first local radio amplified the voices of the women in the
community. But “The Marías” knew that they could strengthen their messages – and
the Internet was the key. “Having Internet will allow us to better prepare our
radio programs as we will have more information from around the world and we
will also be able to share what we do with other people,” says María Guadalupe,
one of the first to access Internet in the community. She also shared that she
was a little scared when she saw one of her colleagues on the screen during a
video call."
How the Lenca Are Restoring the Past to Build Their Future 4/5/2018 Internet
Society: "This is the story of Lenca people of Azacualpa, an Indigenous
community of Yamaranguila in Intibucá, Honduras. In June 2017 they decided to
start their relationship with technology by creating Radio Azacualpa, a radio
station run by women… In 2018, the Lenca decided to take a big step forward and
started the “Comunidades Inteligentes”, a project led by Red De Desarrollo
Sostenible (RDS) in partnership with the Internet Society Honduras Chapter and
supported by Beyond the Net Funding Programme. Comunidades Inteligentes aims to
establish a Community Network with free Wifi and to connect 300 families with
the rest of world."
Radio Azacualpa Opens Its Doors in Honduras 9/12/2017 Cultural
Survival: "We asked the men if they were bothered that the the radio has the
slogan "The Voice of the Women". Many responded that it was not a problem, and
that they were willing to support the radio because they felt it came from the
community. They were happy to support the women in this initiative to overcome
gender barriers, since one of the problems faced by women are their insecurities
due to the lack of opportunities locally. The women of Azacualpa, like many
Indigenous women have a double work day--after working in the fields with their
husbands, they have to attend to domestic work and take care of their families
as mothers and wives."
The Indigenous
Speak Out 9/30/1994 Envio: "Six of Honduras' seven original ethnic groups
participated in the indigenous pilgrimage that shook Tegucigalpa in July. The
pilgrimage began in different parts of the country, and as it wove towards the
capital it awoke the sympathy, curiosity and suspicion of Hondurans along the
way. It represents a historical step of unity among the Lenca, Tolupán, Miskito,
Tawahka, Pech and Garífuna peoples, to express their reality, needs and
proposals for change in a coordinated way to the white and mestizo population
and the Honduran government. The 72 demands the indigenous demonstrators brought
to Tegucigalpa emerged from specific struggles of each ethnic group… The impetus
for the march began in the west of the country (the departments of Intibucá, La
Paz and Lempira), home to the Lencas, some 90,000 people. The Lencas' situation
captured national attention in 1993, when various cases of death from acute
malnutrition were diagnosed in Yamaranguila. "We decided to join the pilgrimage
because we want to propose long term solutions. We want political changes and
participation in decision making. It's not enough that food is donated to us,"
said a young Lenca leader."
