Análisis de la experiencia organizativa de mujeres ¨Sinchi Warmi¨ en el contexto del conflicto ecoterritorial minero, periodo 2018-2023

Abstract

This research work analyzes the organizational experience in the community organization of Sinchi Warmi women in resistance, in the context of the mining ecoterritorial conflict in the period 2018-2023. For this, an integrative and participatory methodological strategy such as ECAP is used from three dimensions: qualitative, quantitative and participatory. It is a simple Case Study with exploratory – descriptive scope; there were 15 surveys, 8 interviews with women of the organization and 4 with people involved in the extractive problem, 7 participant and non-participant observations, in addition to 3 participatory workshops and two transects allowing to approach more closely the territorial field. The results presented show that the Sinchi Warmi organization is characterized by being a plural and diverse collective that from its social incidence resists in favor of the rights of women, collectives and nature in the mining ecoterritorial context in the community of San Antonio de Río Blanco. However, each of the rural and urban women live different realities around mining extractivism, since it is important to measure from the female agency and territorial community feminism the organizational experiences of the organization, dimensioning the impacts from the systems of domination in the body, land and territory of women in resistance. Some relevant quantitative findings are established for future research that can be analyzed from the gender perspective taking into account the differentiated impacts that mining activity produces.
