Comandanta Esther addressed legislators in Mexico's Congress on behalf of the EZLN. She called for constitutional recognition of Indigenous rights and described the compounded exclusion experienced by Indigenous women. Her intervention joined collective autonomy with women's dignity and access to basic services, challenging the idea that either demand required abandoning the other.
