Contribuciones de las mujeres indígenas al quehacer político de los movimientos sociales

Abstract

Recognizing that the lives of indigenous women encounter and fortify mechanisms of social inequality, ethnic discrimination and gender inequality that have placed them on the last link in a chain of subordination and social silencing, in this text, the triple oppression to which we refer is just a starting point for understanding the nature of organizational processes, the scope and depth of the struggles that these women have taken on for over two decades, and point to what might be called a “triple emancipation” of indigenous women as they appear in the center of our analysis not as passive colonialist victims of capitalism and sexism, but as active subjects struggling to transform their realities. The proposals that arise from this background of inequality and social, ethnic and gender discrimination, question all movements and urge that their agendas radicalize and that they expand their scope of change.
