Women of Paquiló and their place in the memory of the agrarian struggles of Sumapaz

Abstract

The women of Paquiló, in Cabrera, Sumapaz region, want to remember and make known the place they occupied as women in the Agrarian Movement in the 1950s and 1960s and in the political and organizational processes of the following decades in the region. Beyond being known as the wives of important leaders, they want to be part of this collective memory of the struggle for land, the establishment of the territory, political participation and rural community life. Conversations with these women and accompanying them in this search invite us to reflect on the memory and identity of this group.
