Mujeres indígenas de la Amazonía ecuatoriana frente al extractivismo

Abstract

In Latin America, several anti-system social movements have appeared. They fight for social justice and oppose to economic and political practices inconsistent with the population’s interests. Example of this are the Ecuadorian Amazon’s indigenous women, who question capitalist development and suggest alternatives to the civilizational crisis. Their struggle aims to protect both their territory and body from extractivism. Their thoughts and contributions must be studied and widely spread by academy.
