Sumario:The intersections of various inequalities impact the lives of amazigh women in Morocco. This paper addresses the situation of special vulnerability experienced by these amazigh women: for being women, indigenous and rural population. Thus patriarchy, racism and classism intersect, weaving a construct of oppression. But along with making visible and denouncing the situation of vulnerability of amazigh women, we also want to value the contributions of these women to the development of their communities, the well-being of their families and the sustainability of life. Through the recognition of their identity, and from their historical-cultural legacy, these women are moving from vulnerability to empowerment. The amazigh women's agency and its resistance are a source of learning and inspiration for the construction of cultures to make peace(s).
