Cuidado infantil, género y política pública en los barrios marginales de Lima, Perú
Persistent gender disparities in employment opportunities disproportionately affect women in socioeconomically vulnerable communities. A key factor influencing this inequality is the social organization of caregiving, particularly early childhood care, which often falls outside the scope of public service provision. This article draws on a case study with in-depth interviews on childcare arrangements in urban-marginal districts of Lima, exploring…
From aspirational laws to the implementation of legislation against gender-based violence: Bottom-up pressure in Peru and Argentina
Gender-based violence is a rampant problem in Latin American countries. Historically, state policy to prevent and sanction it has developed slowly, usually having limited impact because of a lack of resources and political will. While the process of policy adoption involved feminist organizations and international norms diffusion, little is known about when and why policy to address gender-based violence can become a political priority. Based on …
The effects of anti-gender activism on Latin American democracies: A comparison of Brazil and Peru
In Latin America, anti-gender activism has flourished in recent decades, with consequences for feminist and LGBTQ+ movements and the political representation of their agenda. We compare two countries, Brazil and Peru, where these campaigns have reshaped public debates. They entered the field of electoral competition, congress dynamics and government policymaking in the 2010s. However, the political processes preceding the rise of this activism in…
Populismo y política antigénero en Perú: De la sociedad civil al escenario electoral
Populism and antigender politics in Peru: From civil society to electoral spherePopular support to antigender politics that emerged in the last years in several countries of Latin America has been explained mostly in terms of the entry of religious actors in the political system. Based on an analysis of antigender activists’ and politicians’ discourse in Peru, it is argued that building political representation vehicles around the rejection of th…
Perú 2020: El quiebre de la continuidad
El Perú post-transición democrática del año 2000 se ha descrito en distintos trabajos como un caso donde se observaban algunas significativas continuidades: estabilidad del modelo económico adoptado en los noventa, un poder Ejecutivo que controla la política pública, un Congreso relativamente débil frente al Ejecutivo, ausencia de protestas articuladas, entre otras. En el periodo de gobierno (2016-2020) se ha dado un cambio significativo en la re…
Antigender Activism in Peru and Its Impact on State Policy
In Peru, the adoption of a new school curriculum based on gender equality and nondiscrimination against sexual minorities led to the mobilization in 2016 of organizations connected to conservative churches under the slogan Con Mis Hijos No Te Metas (Don't Mess with My Children). This new countermovement uses street protests, the courts, and Congress to disseminate an antigender agenda that goes beyond its initial opposition to sexual education. O…
La autonomía indígena «tutelada» en Bolivia
En Bolivia, las luchas indígenas por la autodeterminación adoptaron un lenguaje y normativa específicos con la nueva Constitución en 2009, bajo el concepto de «autonomía indígena originario campesina». Este artículo analiza la normativa y los procesos recientes de acceso a la autonomía por parte de diferentes pueblos indígenas. Las relaciones que se tejen entre pueblos indígenas y Estado constituyen una dinámica que calificamos de dialéctica: por…
The Construction of Indigenous Language Rights in Peru: A Language Regime Approach
From the 1990s onwards, many Latin American states have adopted constitutional reforms that recognise indigenous peoples’ rights. In this article, we address a much less studied aspect, the emergence of new language rights. Based on field research and process tracing, we study the case of Peru where indigenous language rights were created in the absence of ethnic parties and with a relatively weak indigenous movement. We argue that the country mo…
Indigenous Women Transform the Politics of Representing Women
In this chapter, the formation of different types of women’s organizations is described to trace their trajectories in relation to different sectors of the indigenous movement. The growth of “gender parallelism”, that is, women’s organizations related to male-dominated indigenous organizations, is particularly visible in the Bolivian experience. It shows how indigenous women understand their role as acting side by side their male companions in th…
Indigenous Women’s Struggle for Autonomy
This chapter discusses the specific characteristics of the contemporary indigenous women’s movement at the national level in Mexico. It analyzes the different organizational forms of indigenous women’s mobilization of the past decades, from the participation of indigenous women within the peasant and the indigenous movements to the creation of their own spaces of organization. The chapter analyzes indigenous women’s collective identity formation …
Conclusion
This concluding chapter offers a comparison of the trajectories of indigenous women’s mobilization in Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia. The analysis, grounded on intersectionality and the political process model, allows for a better understanding of the internal and external dynamics determining the autonomy indigenous women have exercised as political subjects and thus the different organizational paths they followed. In Mexico and in Peru, these traje…
The “Exceptional Case” No Longer So Exceptional
The chapter explains the history of the indigenous movement in Peru, starting with an account of how race/ethnicity has been constructed in the twentieth century. The “erasure” of ethnicity in social movements was one of the consequences of the peasant struggle for land reform, which culminated in the 1960s. This erasure continues to be relatively hegemonic in the highlands, but since the end of the 1990s a new process of organizing on the basis …
Indigenous Women Strengthen the Indigenous Movement
This chapter provides the first academic analysis of the Peruvian indigenous women’s movement, starting with the first openings that were created within Amazonian and peasant organizations, up to the formation of independent and national indigenous women’s organizations. It argues that the very weakness of the indigenous movement may have provided greater space for indigenous women to occupy as public actors. Nonetheless, the relatively weak sali…
Indigenous Self-Determination: From National Dialogues to Local Autonomies
This chapter presents the dynamics leading to the emergence of the contemporary indigenous movement in Mexico and shaping its trajectory. It discusses the impact of the corporatist system and its ideology of mestizaje on the type of peasant organizations that were formed in the post-revolutionary period. Then it analyzes the factors and events that led to the creation of autonomous organizations and a greater articulation of recognition and redis…
Indigenous Women’s Movements: An Intersectional Approach to Studying Social Movements
This chapter presents the main literature on indigenous movements and underlines the need to pay more attention to gender dynamics within these movements and to indigenous women’s political agency in relation to the national context. It details an original theoretical framework to study comparatively indigenous women’s organizational trajectories, based on an intersectional perspective and social movement concepts. Both internal and external fact…
Indigenous Movements Merge into Party and State Politics
This chapter analyzes the changes that occurred in Bolivia from the 1940s onward, emphasizing how the racial/ethnic social structure coincided with class. The emancipatory character of the 1952 Revolution allowed the integration of peasants and indigenous peoples in the citizenry, but different waves of social mobilization were necessary to allow the majority of indigenous citizens to construct a favorable power balance in society and in the poli…
Latin America’s Left-Turn and the Political Empowerment of Indigenous Women
Given indigenous women’s position at the intersection of gender and racial oppressions, assessing their political empowerment (or lack thereof) over the course of Latin America’s “left-turn” offers a barometer of just how well pink tide governments succeeded in their promises of inclusion. We assess whether the left turn led to the political empowerment of indigenous women by comparing the center-right government of Peru with the left-wing govern…
Más allá de la capacidad estatal: Sociedad civil e implementación de políticas a nivel subnacional en Cusco y San Martín (Perú)
In this article we present two cases that highlight how regional civil society contributes to improving the implementation of regulations and public policies in subnational spaces. In the regions of San Martín and Cusco in Peru, civil society actors took advantage of decentralized space to effectively enforce national laws (environmental regulations in the first case, and rights for the population that speaks indigenous languages in the second). …

El artículo analiza el caso del proceso de elaboración de políticas de salud reproductiva en el Perú, en el contexto de las reformas de las políticas sociales implementadas durante los últimos 15 años. Las reformas en el sector de la salud sólo han reparado en forma parcial el acceso desigual de las mujeres a la planificación familiar, a los derechos reproductivos y a la atención materna. Las fuentes principales de desigualdad están relacionadas …
Women's Citizenship and Neopopulism: Peru Under the Fujimori Regime
This article argues that the increased participation of women in Peruvian politics in the 1990s and the advances made in some areas of their citizenship rights are connected to the strategies put in place by some sectors of the women's movement and to the openings provided by the Fujimori regime. Some of the impact of neopopulist rule on political institutions is shown to be positively related to women's increased opportunities during this period…

Regards sur les paradigmes féministes en recherche
Huit spécialistes ont accepté de répondre à trois questions sur l’émergence, la variété et l’avenir des paradigmes féministes en recherche. Ces personnes viennent d’universités différentes, de disciplines différentes et font aussi partie de générations différentes. Cette discussion n’a pas vraiment eu lieu, et c’est pourquoi elle est qualifiée de « virtuelle ». Toutefois, un échange a pu être constitué avec les réponses reçues. Il témoigne d’opin…
