Abstract: Women in Mexico who take part in the defense of their territory face the concrete manifestations of capitalist accumulation and patriarchal logic, as well as the colonialist dynamics of extractive projects. These conditions transform their family relationships and their participation in community life. This article reflects upon the experiences of women who have fought against the Morelos Integral Project in central Mexico. It draws from the interviews conducted by the author between 2018 and 2022, as well the author’s participant observation in organizational meetings at the national, regional, and local levels.
