| Sumario: | Women who participate in the PROSPERA Social Inclusion Program in Mexico have assigned tasks, which are extension of domestic tasks. The objective of this paper is to explore how these mixtecas women, who live in a community from the mexican state of Guerrero, express their relationship with PROSPERA based on their own experience and, at the same time, to analyze potential expressions of structural violence towards them. Some interviews were applied to mixtecas women and ethnographic observations were made along the community. It was observed, based on the narrations of women´s experiences, that the State, through this program, exerts structural violence that ranges from the discourse of poverty to direct violence. Women named this direct violence as "mistreatment”, which is exercised by those in charge of carrying the program. All these puts women in dependency status and reproduces gender roles that have kept them at social disadvantage, vulnerability and inequality. |
