RUIZ MEZA, Laura Elena. Dimensiones de género de los mercados de derechos de agua y tierra en el distrito de riego 101 Cuxtepeques, Chiapas. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2012, vol.7, n.14, pp.117-150. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2012.14.101.

We analyze the gender dimensions of the commodification of land and water rights for irrigation in the area of 101 Cuxtepeques Irrigation District, in Frailesca region of Chiapas. In the context of individualization and privatization of natural resources, identify market mechanisms that violate the right of women to ownership of natural resources. It is argued that, in the context of relationships and existing power structures, markets for land and water rights recreate mechanisms of social exclusion and gender inequality in the management of natural resources at the local level.

Palabras llave : gender; water markets; water and land rights; Chiapas.
