Rural-urban relations and feminist strategies in anti-mining resistance: the case of the #QuitoSinMinería campaign in the Andean Chocó.

In this episode  we are joined by Samantha Garrido, Ecuadorian communicator and researcher, with more than ten years of experience in strategic communication, audiovisual production and accompaniment to processes of territorial defense, environmental justice and human rights.

Samantha shares with us the findings of her research on field-city relations and feminist strategies in anti-mining resistance: the case of the #QuitoSinMinería campaign in the Andean Chocó, based on experiences of resistance to extractivism and mining in the Andean Chocó, the program shows how the struggles for the defense of the territory are also spaces of care, collective organization and construction of other ways of inhabiting the world. 

The conversation invites us to think about the role of women in the processes of socio-environmental resistance, highlighting the importance of weaving alliances between the countryside and the city to defend life, water and territories. More than an academic discussion, the episode conveys a close and critical look at how feminist strategies allow us to strengthen networks of support, memory and collective action in Latin America.
