 Indigenous Women's Political Participation in Latin America. The Zapatista movement in Mexico
Márgara Millán
This study is based on doctoral research carried out between 1997 and 2005 in a tolojabal Zapatista community in las Margaritas, Chiapas. The author visited the community as a participant observer and discussed the Ley de Mujeres with the women of the community, as well as their participation in the Zapatista movement. The study presents part of the results of this research, within the context of the complex relationship between ethnicity and the Zapatista discourses on gender and development. The final part of the study looks at the tensions and points of difference between Zapatista "indigenous feminism" and urban feminism in Mexico, with the aim of broadening the underpinnings of the feminist critique of the current Latin American gender and socio-political order.

 Women's political participation at the Local Government in Latin America
Alejandra Massolo
Women’s political participation in municipalities has received little attention until recently, though the chronic under-representation of women in mayoral and other local elected positions is increasingly recognized as a significant challenge to gender equality. This working paper is part of the first phase of the project: Strengthening governance from a gender perspective and women’s political participation at the local level in Latin America, and contains information, analysis and conclusions synthesized from various sources with the aim of providing a panoramic view of knowledge, information and reflection on the question of women’s political participation at the local level.

New Gender Machinery at the Local Level in Latin America
Alejandra Massolo
   Local governments in Latin America have not been characterized by their capacity to design their own public policies - beyond the service-delivery and infrastructure functions traditionally assigned to the local level – which do not leave much room for a holistic view of gender concerns. This working paper is part of the first phase of the project: Strengthening governance from a gender perspective and women’s political participation at the local level in Latin America, and contains information, analysis and conclusions synthesized from various sources with the aim of providing a panoramic view of the status of the new gender machinery which has been established at the local level as a result of recent decentralization processes in the Latin American context.

 Indigenous Women's Participation in Governance Processes and Local Governments: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala y Peru
Claudia Ranaboldo, Gilles Cliche y Antonieta Castro
This report is the product of a broad bibliographic review, as well as consultations with various stakeholders on the participation of indigenous women in governance processes and local governments in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Peru. The report aims to systematize lessons learned and identify critical entry points for intervention. In order to contextualize the information, the report also discusses: i) the definition of the "indigenous;" ii) the relationship between indigenous peoples and poverty as a crucial influence on the issue of participation; and iii) the relationship between indigenous peoples, local governments and governance, including the tensions that can arise from differing conceptions and practices.
