Andean Women in Bolivia Wear Polleras in Various Activities

Andean Indigenous women (cholitas) wear polleras during activities like mining, skating, climbing, soccer, and wrestling in Bolivia.
Pollera was imposed by Spanish colonizers and later reclaimed as a symbol of pride in Bolivia.
Evo Morales promoted Indigenous symbols like the pollera, with Rodrigo Paz as president.
Women in polleras aim to continue moving forward, wearing them for their children.
