Overview
Mujer triqui es el extraordinario relato de una niña oaxaqueña que, a los cinco años, pasó de vivir en un paraíso a buscar sobrevivir en un campo de batalla, donde aprendió a empuñar un arma para defenderse, sobreponerse a la mayor de las angustias y desafiar un destino de violencia y pobreza.
Es el testimonio inaudito de Beatriz Pérez López, quien —de golpe— fue arrojada a la lucha histórica de su pueblo contra caciques y actores externos que han lucrado con el enfrentamiento entre hermanos.
Sólo que, tras toda una vida de resistencia —en el ocultamiento, los internados, el desplazamiento forzado, el activismo, la clandestinidad y la política—, terminó buscando otra posibilidad para su nación indígena: la reconciliación y la paz.
En ese viaje, su propio pueblo la llevó hasta el Congreso de la Unión, donde como diputada impulsó la reforma al Artículo Segundo Constitucional, que en 2024 logró el reconocimiento de los pueblos originarios como sujetos de derecho en México, con lo que al fin empezó a saldarse una deuda histórica.
Así que Mujer triqui también es esa historia: la de miles de indígenas triquis que, incluso enfrentados, buscan día a día y decisión a decisión un México donde quepamos todos, por más distintas que sean nuestras convicciones.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In the mountains of Oaxaca, there is a half-century war, ignored by millions... Right there, a story of resistance and unbreakable dignity was born.
Triqui Woman is the extraordinary tale of a little girl from Oaxaca who, at five years old, went from living in paradise to struggling to survive on a battlefield, where she learned to wield a weapon to defend herself, overcome the greatest anguish, and challenge a destiny of violence and poverty.
It is the unheard testimony of Beatriz Pérez López, who—suddenly—was thrown into her people's historic struggle against local chieftains and external actors who have profited from the conflict between brothers.
However, after a lifetime of resistance—in hiding, boarding schools, forced displacement, activism, clandestinity, and politics—she ended up seeking another possibility for her indigenous nation: reconciliation and peace.
On that journey, her own people took her to the Congress of the Union, where as a deputy she promoted the reform of Article Two of the Constitution, which in 2024 achieved the recognition of indigenous peoples as subjects of rights in Mexico, thus beginning to settle a historical debt.
So Triqui Woman is also that story: the story of thousands of Triqui indigenous people who, even when confronted, seek day by day and decision by decision a Mexico where we all fit, no matter how different our convictions may be.
