Elementos sociopolíticos de la interseccionalidad en política pública para mujeres indígenas. Revisión CONPES 4080 del año 2022

Abstract

Indigenous communities in Latin America have historically been submerged in the violation of human rights due to colonization and continuous cultural violence. In addition, indigenous women have been building an agenda for equality in political participation and a life free of violence, among other demands that are affected by cultural practices and gender oppression. Purpose: In this sense, the purpose is to establish the sociopolitical relevance of the intersectionality of Gender and Ethnicity in public policies, taking into account CONPES 4080. Methodology: A documentary research was carried out that analyzes public policies in Colombia related to gender, ethnicity, intersectionality, and gender-based violence. CONPES 4080 was selected, which focuses on gender equality and sustainable development. Results: The lack of an intersectional approach that considers the ethnicity of indigenous women was evident, which generates gaps in the attention to their specific needs and in the understanding of the barriers they face in political participation and the prevention of gender violence. Conclusions: It is concluded that the implementation of the intersectional gender-ethnicity approach at the methodological, conceptual and statistical level is necessary to adequately address gender-based violence that occurs among indigenous women.
