Rural women’s rights: the impact of organizing by Bolivia’s coca growing women by Linda Farthing and Thomas Grisaffi<\/p>\n

Abstract:\u00a0 Evo Morales\u2019 administration (2005-2019) had a firm commitment to improving the lives of Bolivia\u2019s poorest people, who are mostly rural and indigenous women. A key element in this shift was the influence that the principal rural indigenous women\u2019s organization, the Bartolinas, exercised within the Morales government. This article contends that the Bartolinas\u2019 success drew in no small measure from women coca growers who organized against the 1990s U.S.-financed War on Drugs in the Chapare region. Focused initially on resisting repression, these women played a central role in the formation of the political party that Evo Morales headed and in strengthening the Bartolinas at the same time as they gradually expanded their demands to include more emphasis on women\u2019s issues. They assumed important positions in the Morales government and they played a central role in advancing indigenous and rural women\u2019s rights, including achieving electoral gender parity in the 2009 Constitution.<\/em><\/p>\n
