“…In other words, for the Christian religion, the error of Eve, a symbol of feminine transgression and of sin embodied in women, had as a consequence the need to silence the latter, at the same time that it justified that women could only clean their guilt when her body was dedicated to begetting children (Saint Saens, 1991). This idea was very popular within the early church fathers, including St. Augustine, who insisted that women's only function in salvation history was to conceive children.…”

The next reflection has the purpose of analyzing the resilience strategies of Afghan women and girls throughout the 21st century to compare them with those other strategies that many Mexican women and girls from rural and urban communities have to use on a daily life to survive in the midst of different types of conditions of marginalization, discrimination and violence. The communication compares the representation and construction of negative female stereotypes originated in the most traditional visions of islam and catholicism to analyze the response that contemporary, resilient, and combative women have offered to fight against these cultural assumptions in search of greater freedoms, rights, and opportunities to live with dignity. This cultural comparison has the purpose of looking at women as active subjects, capable of responding and acting in situations of oppression, discrimination, and daily mistreatment in patriarchal societies where violence against women is one of the social, political, economic and cultures of most urgent attention.
