FLORES MARTINEZ, Rosa María; ZAMARRIPA ESPARZA, Emma Alexandra y MENDOZA CARDENAS, Elizabeth. “It's what you got.” Violence and inequality in older rural women throughout life course. Rev. Guillermo Ockham [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.39-49. Epub 05-Abr-2022. ISSN 1794-192X. https://doi.org/10.21500/22563202.5588.
Violence against women is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon. However, it is made invisible in the private sphere, affecting women of different ages and contexts. The objective of this article is to analyze the connection between conditions of inequality and experiences of violence in older rural women, faced throughout their life course. Using the life course approach and qualitative methodology, the life stories of four elderly women living in rural communities in Durango (Mexico) are explored, who throughout their biography have been the object of different forms of violence, with an entrenched anchorage in gender asymmetries. The results show that gender inequalities experienced from early ages of life have immediate repercussions, but also in the long term, translating into different types of violence as a "normalized" state of "being a woman". The study's conclusions highlight the importance of politicizing and deconstructing inequalities and gender relations.
