description 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.

Este trabajo analiza, desde un enfoque etnográfico, las estrategias desplegadas por las mujeres indígenas que participan en procesos organizativos para trascender desde la esfera doméstica hacia la esfera pública en las primeras décadas del siglo XXI. El artículo argumenta que las mujeres indígenas, por un lado, se posicionan en el espacio público como mujeres-madres poseedoras, cuidadoras y transmisoras de una cultura ancestral para demandar la ejecución de políticas interculturales recurriendo a un discurso anclado en la defensa de los derechos a la diversidad étnica y cultural. No obstante, cuando este mismo colectivo de mujeres indígenas presenta sus demandas en el espacio público comunitario recurre a un discurso que enfatiza la defensa de los derechos de las mujeres como una estrategia para luchar contra la opresión y la violencia de género existente en el seno de sus propias comunidades. Concluye que las mujeres indígenas –en tanto sujeto político–, al plantear que sus derechos como mujeres están ligados a los derechos colectivos de los pueblos indígenas a la diferencia étnica y cultural, desafían tanto la vigencia de la división de derechos entre individuales y colectivos así como la idea de igualdad de todas las mujeres, enfatizando en su revés sus diferencias.  2021-05-19 2022-03-15T19:49:54Z 2022-03-15T19:49:54Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistasacademicas.unsam.edu.ar/index.php/etnocontemp/article/view/921 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/25132 spa http://revistasacademicas.unsam.edu.ar/index.php/etnocontemp/article/view/921/1343 application/pdf Instituto de Altos Estudios Sociales Etnografías Contemporáneas; Vol. 7 Núm. 12 (2021): Etnografías Contemporáneas 2451-8050
