Abstract
In Ecuador, indigenous women are increasingly active in politics, both to advance women’s rights and to defend their territories. This thesis examines the different forms of violence they experience and how these affect their political participation. It explores how women are perceived within indigenous cultures and how those views shape everyday life. By studying where violence and political participation intersect, the study seeks to clarify the strategies indigenous women use to navigate their communities and engage in public life.
I Ecuador deltager stadig flere kvinder fra oprindelige folk i politik, både for at fremme kvinders rettigheder og for at forsvare deres territorier. Dette speciale undersøger de forskellige former for vold, de udsættes for, og hvordan det påvirker deres politiske deltagelse. Det ser på, hvordan kvinder opfattes i oprindelige kulturer, og hvordan disse opfattelser præger hverdagen. Ved at undersøge skæringspunktet mellem vold og politisk deltagelse søger studiet at belyse de strategier, som oprindelige kvinder bruger til at navigere i deres samfund og engagere sig i det offentlige liv.
