Katutubong Kababaihang Pinay (KKPinay)
Kabataang Katutubong Pinay is a collective of young indigenous women from different indigenous communities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. LILAK recognizes that the struggles of women are felt differently by indigenous women, and the struggles of indigenous women are felt by young indigenous women. In some instances, they may also be different.
The collective was formed in 2020, and its pilot activity was the national gathering of young indigenous women, Young Indigenous Women SPEAK OUT. However, because of the onslaught of COVID-19 cases and strict militaristic lockdown, the gathering was held online via Zoom Conference. The KKPinay Collective aims to amplify the voices of young indigenous women in social movements and in the campaigns and advocacies of their communities
