Social movements and gender: the feminist sow of The Via Campesina

Many of the social movements that have made efforts to create a "developement model", have primarily considered the economical and politic dimension for analysis, relegating the cultural dimension as a less important component, invisibilizing gender issues as a central axis of social inequality. Therefore, this research analyzes how a gender perspective has been integrated in a specific social movement recognizing its importance, "La Vía Campesina". The methodology used is a frame analysis, because it allows identifying how the movement constructs itself, and how they formulate the diagnosis and the solutions of their problems. The main conclusions are, on one hand, that the women's sections position the gender dimension as a central axis and on the other hand, that the movement has shown certain permeability to this demand. It also points to the emergency of a feminist consciousness, closer to the so-called "third world feminism" than to the hegemonic western feminism, which could eventually come to permeate the movement as a whole.
