The Three Houses of Ayutla: Against Violence and for Justice. Video Dossier
The dossier presents the organizational experience of Indigenous and Afro-Mexican women from Ayutla de los Libres, Guerrero, who have created community spaces to confront various forms of violence and develop alternative forms of justice based on their own knowledge and experiences. Through the testimonies and reflections of those who participate in these spaces, the video shows how gender-based violence, racism, and institutional exclusion permeate women’s daily lives, especially when they seek access to justice, education, healthcare, or decent working conditions.
Feminist ethnography in contexts of multiple violences

The article examines how to conduct feminist ethnography through collaborative methodologies that acknowledge the privileges and vulnerabilities of women researchers in contexts of patriarchal violence. It presents three case studies—Indigenous women victims of sexual violence, incarcerated women, and relatives of disappeared persons—to reflect on the ethics of care and a decolonial approach. It challenges the traditional view of fieldwork as a masculinist rite of passage and proposes the co-production of knowledge with the research subjects. Finally, it advocates for alternative forms of ethnographic writing that make visible the voices and resistances of women in extreme contexts.
