El 1° de septiembre de 2025 entró en vigor, en México, la Norma 020 “Para establecimientos de salud y el reconocimiento de la partería en la atención integral materna y neonatal”, que regulará la partería profesional y tradicional, y que limitará el ejercicio de esta labor principalmente en el caso de parteras Indígenas. Se trata de una Norma que, desde su planteamiento, desconoció las voces, necesidades y exigencias de las parteras, quienes hoy dicen: “No a la Norma Oficial Mexicana 020”.

The global Land Back movement is a collective and deeply rooted effort by Indigenous communities to reclaim ancestral lands that were taken through colonization, forced removal, and broken treaties. Far beyond a call for restitution, Land Back is about restoring sovereignty, cultural revitalization, and environmental stewardship. It is a continuous and evolving struggle to reassert Indigenous rights and reaffirm the sacred, reciprocal relationship between people and the land—a relationship that has sustained ecosystems for millennia.
