Gendered geographies of elimination further settler colonialism's influence on conceptual discussions in human geography on contemporary forms of the place‐based death of indigenous peoples. Through work stemming from scholarship on the gendering of settler colonialism, this paper adds to narratives on place annihilation and dispossession of indigenous territory tied to the slow death of racialised, gendered and sexualised populations. Building on incipient reflections in geography with settler colonialism, I explore the geographic implications from the perspective of Epera women, indigenous women belonging to a trinational ethnicity experiencing elimination along the Ecuador–Colombia borderland from the perspective of decolonial feminist geography frameworks. I claim that attrition implied in settler colonialism's logic of elimination is a territorial project demonstrated in place‐based elimination and gendered embodied elimination.
Local Governance and Citizen Participation: actions of women from stratum 1 and 2 for the construction of public policies of Food and Nutritional Security around excess weight -Girardot. Excess weight is a collective, inequality and gender phenomenon in modern society. The WHO suggests the design of comprehensive policies that include all sectors of society and with multidisciplinary bases. In Colombia, the ENSIN 2015 has shown excess weight (overweight and obesity) as a problem wich is more prevalent in women. This work seeks to contribute to interventions around excess weight in women, deeping into the aspects and factors from the dimensions of human and food security of Food and Nutritional Security, as well as the recognition of citizen participation as a prevailing factor in moment of the construction of FNS policies, carrying out its own Local Governance exercise.Policies to reduce excess weight need to be effective, to achieve this requires not only a greater understanding of the causes of excess weight from individual factors focused on caloric balance, but also to promote broader perspectives that allow addressing the problem from a holistic approach, with cultural sensitivity and direct involvement of those affected.In the municipality of Girardot Cundinamarca, excess weight is reflected in different population groups. Thereby, from the University of Cundinamarca, the existence of this problem in a group of women who live in the same sector of the urban area of Girardot is proposed as a propitious scenario for reflection and knowledge. This qualitative research manages to combine the use of different methodologies as complementary inputs in the framework of participatory-action research in a systematic way, showing the complexity of excess malnutrition in a group of women from stratum 1 and 2 of Girardot urban area, from the own recognition of the existing factors in the territory that comprehend the food and human dimensions of food and nutritional security and determine this situation. From the citizen participation in this, it is possible to build and manage public actions that tend to solve it, carrying out a Local Governance exercise.
Desde nuestras trayectorias y reflexiones, escribimos sobre los aportes, desde los movimientos sociales, ambientales y de mujeres, hasta las geografías feministas, las ecologías políticas feministas y la geografía feminista descolonial antirracista. Asimismo, planteamos los siguientes ejes analíticos: territorios y territorialidades diversas; naturalezas, ambientalismos y los no humanos; y cuerpos-territorios, como núcleos que están resignificando las geografías feministas. Y abordamos los retos que implica resignificar las categorías binarias y nociones territoriales. De igual manera, resaltamos las ausencias de ciertos debates, como el del racismo estructural. Todo con miras a establecer diálogos con otras geografías de distintos hemisferios y localizaciones frente a las transformaciones territoriales y ambientales irreversibles de los territorios en América Latina, y frente a la necesidad de cuestionar la relación con la blanquitud en el espacio, y la territorialización de los procesos de creación feminista.
