Perspectiva de género para el análisis de la participación femenina en organizaciones ambientalistas

Abstract

Based on the empirical analysis of the Organización de Mujeres Ecologistas de la Sierra de Petatlán, Gro. (Environmentalist Women of the Petatlan Sierra, Gro. organization), this article proposes an analysis scheme or the involvement of women in environmentalist non-governmental organizations, from a gender perspective, by stressing the study of the most signifi cant, but not always visible, relations that women establish as activists who carry out certain collective actions which build in favor of the environment and the ecology. These relations are expressed as: a) non housekeeping work; b) woman social condition; c) women and nature relations; and d) women and institutions relations.
