Survive From The Cultural Identity. A proposal for differential empowerment from the role of indigenous Nasa women in a city context

Abstract

This article presents a reflection from the experiences of the south native women of Colombia, to contribute to the dialogue and promote the understanding among the different gazes of the feminisms under construction, arisen of the communities of women of Latin America, especially the descolonial feminism and the community feminism. This contribution derives from the doctoral work titled Methodology of Differential empowerment from the cultural identity and the local development of the Nasa native women of the Municipality of Santiago of Cali, Colombia, that proposes and develops a methodology for the empowerment of the women of this community, inscribed in the postulates of the south epistemologies and, in consequence, arisen for the Nasa native women from the south of Colombia. Which are the conceptual bases of this strategy of empowerment? Which are these consonances with the feminisms under construction in Latin America? Which is the methodological proposal of this investigation? Where does it go from and where is it going to? These are the questions that will be answered in the development of this article.
