La justice de genre et la gestion communautaire des forêts

The document advocates for a feminist approach to community forest management, highlighting women's specialized holistic knowledge of biodiversity and the need to dismantle patriarchal power dynamics to ensure women's full social, political, and economic participation in their communities.

• The document asserts that patriarchal systems specifically oppress women and increase structural violence affecting both their physical bodies and their territories, necessitating an approach based on ecofeminism and territorial community feminisms from the South.
• Women possess diverse and specialized knowledge of forests, particularly regarding species used for health, household needs, soil fertility, food, and firewood, and they view nature and biodiversity holistically within a territory that must be preserved for humanity.
• Applying a feminist perspective to community forest management allows for the recognition of nature through emotions, sensitivity, and spiritual practice, while helping to expose and dismantle power dynamics and tensions within community forest management (GCF).
• The ultimate goal of this framework is to secure women's rights to full participation in the social, political, and economic life of their communities, including autonomous access to water, seeds, and production and sales conditions.
