The Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities are autonomous territories in Chiapas, Mexico. They were established following a revolution in 1994 by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.[1]

Education

In non-Zapatista areas of Chiapas, 90% of indigenous children do not complete primary school and most teachers do not speak any indigenous languages. Primary school is available in all Zapatista communities and 37% of students continue to secondary school.[2]

Healthcare

84% of Zapatista communities are vaccinated against diseases such as malaria compared to only 75% in areas controlled by the Mexican state. Only 32% of people in Zapatista territories have tuberculosis compared to 84% in the rest of Chiapas.[3] Alcohol is prohibited, leading to a decrease in diseases and infections.[2]
