Abstract

Since 2016, women have been leading a struggle against the oil industry in the Tariquía Nature Reserve, in the state of Tarija, Bolivia. The communities have proposed, from a communal perspective, a struggle for the commons based in the defense and conservation of life since the Bolivian state opened protected areas for oil extraction in 2015, threatening human and non-human life and revealing the intensification of the extractivist regime in Bolivia. In Tariquía, women have organized according to their capacity to veto the entry of the state-capital form into their territory, in doing so they have sustained their rejection extractivism and reaffirmed the mandate of their communities. Relationships built among women (entre mujeres) have flourished through diverse activities, putting mixed spaces of production and reproduction (in which both women and men participate) into crisis in the public and private spheres. This article analyzes some of the key features of this specific struggle for the commons.
