Consideraciones culturales y jurídicas para la formulación de políticas de equidad de género en el marco de las comunidades indígenas : el caso del Valle de Sibundoy

Abstract

Public gender equity policies in Colombia have not fully taken into account the needs and sociopolitical contexts of the indigenous communities that inhabit Colombian territory, especially the Inga and Kamëntsá communities of the Sibundoy Valley. There have been cases of violence against indigenous women that have gone unpunished, due to negligence, ignorance and lack of coordination between the ordinary and special jurisdiction. In this sense, this research project establishes the relevant cultural and legal considerations for the formulation of gender equity policies within the framework of indigenous communities. In addition, this research uses the concepts of normative multiculturalism, intersectionality and imbrication as starting points for the analysis of the perspectives of the Inga and Kamëntsá communities of the Sibundoy Valley, the legal framework and statistics relevant to gender equality in indigenous communities.
