Abstract
A lo largo de los años, las comunidades indígenas han logrado reivindicar muchos de sus derechos fundamentales mediante luchas colectivas. En estas luchas, las mujeres también buscan visibilizar su participación y contribución en la conservación del conocimiento y las prácticas comunitarias, así como tener un papel protagónico y decisorio en los ámbitos político, social y económico de sus comunidades. El presente documento relata y reflexiona alrededor de experiencias particulares y transformadoras protagonizadas por mujeres indígenas del Resguardo Arhuaco de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. Estos relatos ponen de relieve la participación e impacto de las mujeres en actividades como la soberanía alimentaria, el rescate de la memoria cultural, la implementación de justicia propia, especialmente en la defensa de los derechos de las niñas y mujeres, y otros aspectos como la educación, la literatura indígena y la creación de redes solidarias entre mujeres indígenas. Finalmente, se esgrimen algunas consideraciones respecto a la necesidad de lograr la paridad en los cargos de toma de decisiones dentro de las comunidades indígenas. Esto, a pesar de que las mujeres en este territorio ya lideran esta lucha, que les permitirá en el mediano plazo una mayor participación sociopolítica y en las decisiones comunitarias del orden local y nacional.
Over the years, indigenous communities have been able to assert many of their fundamental rights through collective struggles. In these struggles, women have also sought to make visible their participation and contribution to the preservation of knowledge and community practices, as well as to play a leading and decisive role in the political, social and economic spheres of their communities. This document shares and reflects on the particular and transformative experiences of indigenous women from the Arhuaco Resguardo of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. These stories highlight the participation and impact of women in activities such as food sovereignty, the rescue of cultural memory, the implementation of self-justice, especially in the defence of the rights of girls and women, and other aspects such as education, indigenous literature and the creation of solidarity networks among indigenous women. Finally, some reflections are made on the need to achieve parity in decision-making positions within indigenous communities. This is despite the fact that women in this area are already leading this struggle, which in the medium term will allow them greater socio-political participation and greater involvement in local and national community decisions.
