BOLIVIA WOMENS DAY

Initiative in Bolivia aims to boost women's self-esteem through traditional attire

epa11204275 Aymara women belonging to the 'Warmi Empollerada' initiative wear the typical costume of the 'Chola pacena' in La Paz, Bolivia, 01 March 2024 (issued 07 March 2024). Warmi Empollerada is an initiative that seeks to revalue the use of the pollera, the pleated skirt characteristic of Bolivia's cholitas, with Indigenous women who form a network of tourism 'ambassadors,' while working to improve their self-esteem through experiences and workshops. On 08 March 2024 the world will mark International Women's Day (IWD) to highlight the women's rights movement and focus on issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.
