Manejo comunitario de bosques y justicia de género

The document highlights the critical but often invisible role of women in the traditional use and defense of forests and biodiversity. It argues that community forest management (CFM) must incorporate gender justice to dismantle patriarchal structures and ensure women's rights to land ownership, decision-making, and the protection of their traditional knowledge. The text asserts that the current development system, characterized by capitalism and patriarchy, exacerbates violence and marginalization for women, particularly through extractive projects like mining and monocultures, which displace them from their territories and erode cultural identity.

• Women play a fundamental and often invisible role in the care, management, and defense of forests and biodiversity, possessing specialized traditional, scientific, and collective knowledge regarding agriculture, health, and food security.
• Systemic discrimination and the combined impacts of capitalism and patriarchy exclude women from community organization and decision-making processes regarding land and resource use.
• External projects, such as mining and monocultures, increase violence against women and force them to travel longer distances for water and firewood, reducing their capacity to care for local forests and gardens.
• Integrating gender justice into community forest management serves as a tool for equity and transformation, moving beyond simple resource ownership to center life, care, and fundamental rights.
