| Sumario: | This work analyzes, from an ethnographic perspective, the strategies used by indigenous women who participate in organizational processes to transcend from the domestic sphere to the public sphere in the first decades of the 21st century. The article argues that indigenous women, on one hand, position themselves in the public sphere as women mothers, caregivers and transmitters of an ancestral culture to demand the application of intercultural policies, resorting to a discourse anchored in the defense of the rightsto ethnic and cultural diversity. However, when this same group of indigenous women presents their demands in the public community sphere, they resort to a discourse thatemphasizes the defense of women’s rights as a strategy to fight against the oppression and gender violence that exists within their own communities. To conclude, indigenous women, as politics actors, by stating that their rights as women are linked to the collective rights of indigenous peoples and to ethnic and cultural difference, challenge the division of individual and collective rights, as well as the idea of equality of all women, while emphasizing their differences. |
