Mujeres indígenas: la importancia de los Derechos humanos desde el enfoque de género

Abstract

The exercise of social appropriation of knowledge presented below aims to present the approaches we had with the indigenous women who lead the Integral Indigenous Cooperative of Agricultural Women, CIIMAPAZ, in the municipality of Caldono (Cauca). This dialogue of knowledge was initially focused on characterizing the organization by talking with those who participate in the cooperative from a gender perspective. To do so, it was taken into account that it was necessary to demonstrate the contribution that Human Rights have in the consolidation of any organizational process, which is why a participatory methodology with some audiovisual techniques was used, which also sought to influence how agreements are established on the social division of labor, as well as the perpetuation of gender stereotypes and finally, how all this relates to the work of women in the cooperative, making it stronger as an organization. In this dialogic process, workshops were held online and in person on these topics, as well as audiovisual recordings were developed where, after identifying gender-based violence as a problem, a sociodrama was performed by the researchers as well as some members of the community. Finally, a reflection process was generated based on the writing of a letter in which it was described how relationships between men and women should be approached in the future in order to have more tolerant and peaceful environments.
