Indigenous women in the representation system for elective posts. the case of oaxaca.
Abstract
In this paper the indigenous women access to posts in the municipal
councils of the state municipalities of Oaxaca is discussed. The
state has 23% of the 2440 municipalities of the country. The
possibility of nominating municipal authorities by two ways is
examined: the nomination in the assembly by the indigenous uses
and customs system and by voting in a local election, as a result
of competition between political parties. Given the lack of studies
on the female access specifically to the regidoras post, and the
difficulties to get detailed information about this matter, results
of the analysis of official information are presented; information
obtained from the National System of Municipality Information
of the National Institute for Federalism and Municipal
Development. It is confirmed that women, in Oaxaca, are getting
the posts of municipal presidents, sindicos and regidoras by both
ways, though subjected, in the indigenous and non-indigenous
ambits, to diverse obstacles and challenges associated to indigenous
uses and customs, and to the macho political culture in the nonindigenous
context.
