Desvelando opresiones y resistencias de las mujeres en Zumarraga (País Vasco): un análisis interseccional para profundizar la democracia participativa en términos de justicia social

This research aims to reach three goals: (i) unveiling how different women are traversed by intersecting axes of oppression –gender, class, race, age and functional diversity in a context of industrial dismantling and expulsions from the labor market in Zumarraga (Basque Country); (ii) make visible their ways of resistance and (iii) a third objective of a more normative nature which seeks to deactivate situations of vulnerability. In doing so, the study will make use of the heuristic potential offered by the frameworks proposed by Patricia Hill Collins the «matrix of domination», the «domains-of-power» and the «politics of community» articulated as an applied tool of intersectional analysis. Thus, the experiences of 37 residents of Zumarraga and two paticipatory groups have been put in dialogue, both oriented to the activation of their demands to deepen participatory democracy in order to achieve social justice.
