ANTECEDENTES
El I Encuentro Nacional de Mujeres: “Naturaleza, Mujeres, Resistencia versus saqueo de los Recursos Naturales”, se celebró en el año 2006 en la comunidad de Yunganza, cantón Limón Indanza, provincia de Morona Santiago, afectada por la presencia de la minera Dayanara.
En septiembre de 2007 se realizó el II Encuentro Nacional de Mujeres: “Dialogando por la Vida”, en la parroquia Victoria del Portete del cantón Cuenca, provincia de Azuay, como parte del proceso de Diálogos por la Vida iniciados en agosto de ese año por la Coordinadora Nacional por la Defensa de la Vida y la Soberanía – CNDVS.
Posteriormente en marzo de 2008 se organiza en la ciudad de Cuenca el Encuentro Latinoamericano de Liderezas “POR EL DERECHO A DEFENDER NUESTROS DERECHOS” y se crea la Unión Latinoamericana de Mujeres ULAM, de la que las Defensoras de la Pachamama son miembros-fundadoras.
En el 2009, debido a la situación de riesgo y persecución de parte del Estado y el gobierno contra las Defensoras de la Pachamama por su resistencia a los mega-proyectos de minería, con varias compañeras enjuiciadas penalmente, se realiza el III ENCUENTRO NACIONAL DE MUJERES: “Alto a la criminalización y persecución de las Defensoras de Derechos”, el 6 de marzo en la ciudad de Cuenca, 7 de marzo en la parroquia Indanza, cantón Limón de la provincia de Morona Santiago, y el 8 de marzo en Molleturo, cantón Cuenca, provincia de Azuay, y se culmina con una marcha de solidaridad y exigencia del cierre de los procesos judiciales en la ciudad de Cuenca.

BACKGROUND
The 1st National Women’s Meeting called "Nature, women and resistance versus looting of natural resources" was held in 2006 in the community of Yunganza, in the Limón Indanza area, in the Morona Santiago province, which was then affected by the presence of the Dayanara mining company.
In September 2007, The 2nd National Women's Meeting called "Dialogue for Life" was held in the Victoria del Portete parish, in the Cuenca area, in the Azuay province, as part of the Dialogues for Life, which had been started in August of that year by the National Coordinator for the Defense of Life and Sovereignty - CNDVS.
Later, in March 2008, The Latin American Meeting of Women Leaders "FOR THE RIGHT TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS" was held in the city of Cuenca and The Latin American Union of Women- ULAM was founded. The Defenders of the Pachamama are founding members.
In 2009, there was a dangerous persecution of the Defenders of the Pachamama carried out by the state and the government because of their resistance to the mega-mining projects, with several comrades prosecuted. The 3rd National Women’s Meeting called "Stop the prosecution of right defenders” was held in the city of Cuenca on March 6th, in the Indanza parish, in the Limón area, in the Morona Santiago province on March 7th and in Molleturo, in the Cuenca area, in the Azuay province, on March 8th. It ended with a demonstration of solidarity in the city of Cuenca and the demand for stopping legal proceedings against our comrades.
