GENDER PERSPECTIVE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE CASE WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION OF THE SIERRA DE PETATLAN, GRO

Based on the empirical analysis of the Organizacion de Mujeres Ecologistas de la Sierra de Petatlan, Gro. (Environmentalist Women of the Petatlan Sierra, Gro. organization), this article proposes an analysis scheme for the involvement of women in environmentalist non-governmental organizations, from a gender perspective, by stressing the study of the most significant, but not always visible, relations that women establish as activists who carry out certain collective actions which build in favor of the environment and the ecology. These relations are expressed as: a) non housekeeping work; b) woman social condition; c) women and nature relations; and d) women and institutions relations.
