Organizaciones de Mujeres Migrantes y Estructuras de Oportunidad para el Desarrollo Sociopolítico: Un Estudio Cualitativo
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Objetivos. Analizar cómo las organizaciones de base de mujeres migrantes pueden constituirse en estructuras de oportunidad que favorecen su desarrollo sociopolítico en contextos de precariedad laboral y exclusión. Método. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo en Andalucía, España, con once activistas de la Asociación de Trabajadoras del Hogar de Sevilla y ocho profesionales de entidades sociales vinculadas. Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas en profundidad y el material se examinó mediante análisis de contenido orientado por objetivos. Resultados. El análisis permitió identificar cuatro estructuras de oportunidad: relacional, que fomenta vínculos solidarios e identidad colectiva; cognitiva, que brinda acceso a un discurso de derechos; inspiracional, que ofrece liderazgos femeninos como modelos de empoderamiento; y de movilización, que impulsa la acción colectiva y la creación de alianzas organizativas. Conclusión. Las organizaciones de mujeres migrantes constituyen espacios fundamentales para el empoderamiento, la participación sociopolítica y la justicia social, ampliando el campo de acción del desarrollo sociopolítico más allá del ámbito educativo.
