Reconstruir el Territorio desde la Casa : procesos organizativos de la asociación de mujeres mineras afrocolombianas de Zaragoza (AFROMARZAL)

Abstract

A trace of collective memory facilitates the recovery and understand-ing of the testimonies of communities affected by different conflicts in a specific territory. This is the case of the town of Zaragoza, located in the municipality of Buenaventura, department of Valle del Cauca, a region deeply impacted by social and armed conflict. In such contexts, women have played a crucial role in rebuilding the fabric of the territory, through the formation of supportive organizational structures oriented towards achieving a “Good Living” (Walsh, 2013). This concept of “Good Living” not only advocates for the satisfaction of material needs, but also for the integration of community values and social justice.
