The visibility in the public space of indigenous women and their activist leaders is recent in Argentina as well the discussion about their rights and problems. In recent years a ?feminine indigeneity? are proclaiming itself as antirracist and "plurinational", linking with sectors of feminist movement and adding in the massive mobilizations against femicides and for the right to abortion. Given the above, my work seeks to answer two key questions: 1) How do the recent debates and struggles of the Argentine feminist movement affect the agenda of indigenous women who have been organizing in the last years? 2) What are the contributions and challenges that indigenous women can bring to the feminist movement?
