Gender justice and indigenous women in Latin America

This chapter analyzes the emergence of a heterogeneous indigenous women’s movement for gender justice in Latin America. From the Río Bravo to Patagonia, we have seen in the last decade a proliferation of indigenous women ́s organizations that struggle for gender justice, from different political genealogies. Some of these women have appropriated the discourses of women ́s rights that have been globalized through international cooperation, non-governmental organizations or the Catholic Church. Other organized indigenous women, in countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia, are creating their own theorizations, reinventing practices and rituals to make them more inclusive and laying the foundations to rethink culture from a gender perspective, and gender from a cultural perspective
