Despite the advances related to the protection of ethnic and cultural diversity, indigenous people continue to suffer inequities, with women being one of the groups most at risk, especially concerning sexual and reproductive health, a situation considered as a problem, a commitment to action in the sustainable development goals. In this context, this Participatory action research searched to build an intercultural educational strategy, sustainable and culturally safe, which, concerning the prevention of cervical cancer, would contribute to the empowerment and conservation of the health of the women who live in the Paujil reservation-Colombia. The initiative arose from indigenous women concerned about improving the health of their peers, and a group of researchers. The construction of an intercultural educational strategy represents a challenge since western pedagogy does not necessarily correspond to the teaching-learning conceptions of the indigenous people of the reservation. There are linguistic difficulties because each ethnic group has its language. The indigenous leaders became the facilitators of the process that focused more on the use of orality and meetings between women who know each other. Women prefer a didactic strategy based on sharing experiences, and the use of primers, and videos. The work allowed to conclude that any proposed of intercultural educational strategy must be specific and according to the needs of the communities.
