In order to make this possible, a team of indigenous women from various regions of the state was formed, which makes up the Kuñangue Aty Guasu council to carry out surveys in their communities.

During the on-site visitation to the indigenous lands in dispute, the female leaders were listened to, their demands were accepted and the most urgent complaints were prioritized and forwarded immediately to the competent government authorities and to the Federal Public Ministry so that the necessary measures could be taken urgently.

Finally, through this survey of the situation of women and families in indigenous areas, it was also suggested to hold a meeting or meeting of women victims of violence together with the leaders of Kunãngue Aty Guasu to debate the issues of concern and seek legal solutions together with the agencies competent so that the demands of Guarani and Kaiowá indigenous women are socialized, made visible, disseminated and finally implemented.

In view of the diverse demands of “invisible” indigenous women, municipal, state and federal public authorities are involved, in partnership with international human and indigenous rights bodies.

The reports and systematized data should generate a discussion, broad socialization and fruitful / constructive reflection on the progress and difficulties in the application and enforcement of the rights of Guarani and Kaiowá women.
