| Title | The Right To Political Participation Of Indigenous Women In Latin America: Comparative Analysis Of Mechanism Of Protection In Bolivia, Colombia And Mexico |
| Summary | In most States with recognition of indigenous right to political participation, women are not entitled with the same rights and possibilities to patriciate as are men. This problem is easily identifiable in the process of autonomous elections of municipality government, in some communities’ women have no right to participate in the process of election, to vote or been voted. And most of the legal systems in Latin-American do not provided from guarantees for the effective access of indigenous women to political participation. Even though some States had implemented some measures to address this problem, as the imposition of gender quotas, it seems to be ineffective. The solution given by the States to control the “rules of the game” in political participation of indigenous woman can be seen as an imposition that brakes with the harmony of collective right to self-government and self-determination. Indigenous women’ right to political participation have two different aspects, in one hand is an individual right to politically participate in the decision-making process of government without discrimination, but also have a collective right as members of an indigenous community to self- determination and non-external interference. This thesis will analyze the solution that three Latin-American Legal Systems have given to this challenge. How their legal framework and public policies have approached the problem, if they have, as well as the level of effectiveness that those solutions have had over the protection of the right to indigenous women to political participation. |
