Este artículo ofrece una lectura antropológica de la falta de acceso a justicia que viven las mujeres indígenas en Guerrero y que revela del cúmulo de opresiones que afectan sus vidas y la de sus comunidades. A partir del seguimiento de Tribunales de Conciencia nos interesa visibilizar los sentidos sociales de agravio y daño que revela el testimonio de las mujeres y las posibilidades que el acompañamiento legal de defensores de derechos humanos del puede dar a las demandas de resarcimiento rebasando inclusive la justicia del Estado. Asimismo, nos interesa poner en relevancia los alcances y límites de los Tribunales de Conciencia para avanzar posible reparaciones culturalmente adecuadas y sensibles a sus contextos.
This essay analyses the contemporary activism of women's organisations of Nicaragua's North Atlantic Coast autonomous region. Its thesis is that the struggle against gender violence has enabled local women to develop a common agenda over and above whatever ideological–political differences and ethnic–racial hierarchies divide them. It argues that the role of Coast women activists has been central to articulating, in a reflexive way, a position as indigenous, Mestizo and Afro‐descendent women in order to adapt a human rights approach to the regional political–cultural context, and to use it effectively to achieve a life free of violence.
