Gestion communautaire des forêts et justice de genre

The document highlights the invisible but crucial role of women in the traditional use and defense of forests and biodiversity. It argues that community forest management (CFM) must be framed through a feminist lens to address gender discrimination, violence, and the exclusion of women from decision-making processes. The text asserts that the intersection of capitalism and patriarchy marginalizes women's rights to land ownership and resource management, and calls for the recognition of women's traditional and scientific knowledge to ensure equitable task distribution and ecosystem well-being.

• Women perform numerous often-invisible tasks essential for forest and biodiversity maintenance, including the use of plants for food and medicine, which positions them as primary defenders of their territories.
• Systemic discrimination and the combined impacts of capitalism and patriarchy exclude women from community organization, decision-making regarding land and biodiversity use, and land ownership.
• External pressures such as mining and monocultures increase violence against women and heighten their workloads, forcing them to travel further for water and firewood, which reduces their capacity to manage local forests and gardens.
• Women possess critical traditional, scientific, and historical knowledge regarding agriculture, health, and food, which is particularly vital during food shortages.
