AMYK: The Yanomami Women’s Organization in Defense of Life and Territory
At the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, AMYK – the Yanomami Women's Association Kumirayõma – is much more than an acronym: it is the organized voice and the driving force of the Yanomami women of Amazonas. Founded to resist aggressions and ensure cultural continuity, AMYK is living proof that Indigenous governance and female leadership are inseparable from the defense of the forest.
