Since January 1, 1994, the Zapatistas of Chiapas, Mexico have been fighting resolutely on two fronts: first, to protect themselves from the intimidation and terrorism of the occupying Mexican Army; and second, to create, in the midst of war, the social, economic, and human rights reforms for which the EZLN was formed. The EZLN has created momentous social change since its insurgence. One example is the inclusion by the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee (CCRI), of the ten laws presented above in what would later become the "Revolutionary Laws." These ten laws are the result of months of discussion with hundreds of women in dozens of communities.
