Gender equality of indigenous women. A look from the fraternity

Abstract

The approach of collective human rights of indigenous peoples contemplated globally and established in various political charters of the Nation States, opens new possibilities for indigenous women in relation to the defense of their historical, social, cultural and educational rights, allowing them to rethink their origins, their traditional way of life and the intercultural relationship with others. It is of interest in this work to make visible the conditions that generate discrimination against indigenous women in order to understand the need for transformative actions that guarantee the rights of gender equality. In this sense, the study proposes to analyze the public policy for gender equality of indigenous women from the perspective of fraternity and interculturality. The complex framework that encompasses the reality addressed refers to the theoretical review of the notions of discrimination, violence, gender, social justice, otherness, systems of inclusion, power, decision making, democracy, State and public policy.
