The banner in the photo reads: STOP THE REPRESSION AGAINST THE CHILDREN OF THE MAPUCHE NATION.
Three Mapuche women and a child have occupied the offices of UNICEF in Chile to demand that UNICEF becomes actively involved in the investigation, reporting and advocacy of Mapuche children and underage minors who are subject to Chilean police violence.
(I haven’t found sources in English speaking media so all links are to reports in Spanish).
In response to the request by the Mapuche people, UNICEF has said that they do not share the methods and that such occupations are contrary to UNICEF’s principles of neutrality. (Sic from the report in Spanish).
The protest and occupation started seven days ago in response to gun shots fired by the Carabineros (Chilean national police force and gendarmerie) during a land dispute in the Temucuicui community. During the police repression, three Mapuche children and several adults were wounded with bullets and had to be hospitalized.
Una de las muchas
