Justicia de género y manejo comunitario del bosques
Summary
This policy brief by Friends of the Earth International outlines a framework linking community forest management with gender justice, drawing on ecofeminism and territorial community feminisms from the Global South to combat patriarchal, colonial, and racist systems of oppression.
Key insights
- The document argues that patriarchal systems specifically oppress women and intensify structural violence affecting their bodies and territories, necessitating the creation of spaces for effective political participation.
- Women possess diverse and specialized knowledge of forests, particularly regarding species used for health, home use, food, firewood, soil fertility, and conservation practices, viewing biodiversity and nature holistically within a territory to be defended for humanity.
- Applying a feminist perspective to community forest management allows for the inclusion of emotions, spirituality, and sensitivity in forest care, while aiming to dismantle power dynamics and tensions within community forest management to ensure women's autonomy and rights to water, seeds, and production conditions.
