Abstract
En este artículo se describen las consecuencias de participar en un emprendimiento productivo desde la perspectiva de mujeres indígenas; y, en segundo lugar, se explora si en estas descripciones las participantes evidenciaron cuestionamientos a las inequidades de género, lo que podría haberse favorecido si las mujeres desarrollaron su emprendimiento en el contexto de un programa para su empoderamiento implementado con perspectiva de género. Para ello, se recurrió a un estudio cualitativo con enfoque intercultural y diseño comparativo que permitió comparar, por un lado, las experiencias de mujeres mapuche de Chile participantes de un emprendimiento surgido en el marco de un programa con perspectiva de género y, por otro, las experiencias de mujeres mayas de México, participantes de un emprendimiento bajo la dirección de un programa sin esta perspectiva. Los resultados mostraron que, más allá de si el emprendimiento tiene o no perspectiva de género, lo que parece tener implicaciones para el empoderamiento de las mujeres es si son ellas quienes autogestionan su emprendimiento.
In the first place, we described the consequences of participating in a productive entrepreneurship from the perspective of indigenous women; and, secondly, we explored whether in these descriptions the women evidenced questions about gender inequities, which could have been favored if women developed their entrepreneurship in the context of a program for their empowerment implemented with a gender perspective. For this, a qualitative study with an intercultural approach and comparative design was used to compare, on the one hand, the experiences of Chilean Mapuche women participating in a project that emerged in the framework of a program with a gender perspective and, on the other, the experiences of Mayan women in Mexico, participants of an entrepreneurship under the direction of a program without this perspective. The results showed that, regardless of whether or not the entrepreneurship has a gender perspective, what seems to have implications for the empowerment of women is whether they are self-managing their entrepreneurship.
