La justice de genre et la gestion communautaire des forêts

This policy brief by Friends of the Earth International explores the intersection of gender justice and community forest management, arguing that patriarchal systems oppress women and exacerbate structural violence against their bodies and territories. It advocates for the recognition of women's holistic knowledge of biodiversity and their right to full social, political, and economic participation within their communities.

• The document asserts that patriarchal systems specifically oppress women and intensify structural violence affecting both their bodies and their territories. The proposed approach integrates elements of ecofeminism and territorial community feminisms from the South to create spaces for women's effective political participation.
• Women possess diverse and specialized knowledge of forests and species, focusing on conservation, soil fertility, food, firewood, and health. Their perspective on nature and biodiversity is described as holistic, viewing the territory as something to be preserved for the benefit of all humanity.
• Applying a feminist perspective to community forest management allows for the inclusion of emotions, sensitivity, and spiritual practice in forest care. The goal is to dismantle power dynamics within community forest management to ensure women's autonomy and their right to access water, seeds, and production and sale conditions.
