National Coordinating Committee of Indigenous Women

The National Coordinating Committee of Indigenous Women (Spanish: Coordinadora Nacional de Mujeres Indigenas, CONAMI) brings together indigenous women from diverse communities across Mexico and focuses on serving the needs and rights of women and indigenous people nationally, regionally, and internationally. This organization was created in August 1997 in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Its formation provided a national forum where Indigenous women could share their experiences within their communities, address issues that had often been minimized in mixed-gender movements, and coordinate their efforts across different regions.

CONAMI was founded by Indigenous women who were involved in organizations such as the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in order to confront the gender inequality they encountered throughout these broader struggles. Key events in the organization's history include its 2012 agenda calling for rights related to territory, health, and freedom from violence as well as the Second National Encuentro in 2000 and the 2014 constitutional amendments related to electoral equality in Mexico. CONAMI maintains its history through archival collections kept at the UCLA Mobile Indigenous Community Archive in the United States and continues its mission through political training workshops.
