| Summary: | In this article we are interested in analyzing different experiences of legal pluralism in Mexico and Ecuador, where indigenous women’s participation has been crucial, both for redefining autonomous law, and for reframing the terms under which indigenous rights are acknowledged. We are interested in contributing to the debate surrounding women’s participation in the redefinition of indigenous legal systems, confronting liberal perspectives of women’s rights, which establish them as opposites of the collective rights of peoples. Considering the context of global pandemic in which we write this text, we also analyze the challenges faced by these struggles for justice within the sanitary crisis of COVID19. Keywords: Indigenous women, legal pluralism, Indigenous Justices. |
