Julieta Paredes Carvajal (born c. 1967) is an Aymara Bolivian poet, singer-songwriter, writer, graffiti artist, anarchist and decolonial feminist activist.
[3] In 2003, she initiated the so-called Mujeres creando comunidad,[4] because, as she explained in 2008, "Autonomous and Anarchist feminism was no longer enough."
The year 2003 when the insurrection occurred, we found these women in the streets fighting against neoliberalism and for the recovery of natural resources for our people.
From that time, we continued meeting at the "Carcajada" café and the Feminist Assembly was born, which is a coordination of various loose collectives and feminists.Julieta Paredes Carvajal is the author of the book Hilando fino desde el feminismo comunitario (2008), in which she delves into notions such as equality between women and men in the context of indigenous culture, her position on Western feminism, colonialism, and neoliberalism, and the role of the body and sexuality in the liberation of women.
[8] "Blanquitas, blancos, for us, are not the people who have fair skin, but those who accept the privileges of a patriarchal, colonial, and racist system because of the clarity of skin, in the same way with our male brothers, it is not for being men but for accepting the privileges that a patriarchal, colonial, racist system gives them; they use it and do not fight it."
