Resumen
Esta investigación analiza la transformación de las dinámicas de género y
poder en los pueblos indígenas amazónicos, centrándose en la participación y
liderazgo de las mujeres shipibo-konibo en Pucallpa, Perú. A partir de un estudio
cualitativo con mujeres que ejercen roles de representación en diversos espacios, se
evidencian cambios en la manera en que asumen el liderazgo, cuestionando
estereotipos tradicionales y mostrando la diversidad de sus experiencias. El análisis
identifica diferencias generacionales: mientras las líderes jóvenes priorizan su
desarrollo personal y la construcción de redes comunitarias, las de mayor edad
concentran sus esfuerzos en responder a las necesidades colectivas y enfrentar
injusticias sociales. La migración del campo a la ciudad y el acceso a la educación
superior aparecen como factores decisivos en estas trayectorias, al igual que el
cambio de prioridades entre las jóvenes, que postergan matrimonio y maternidad para
dar espacio a su formación profesional y compromiso comunitario. Asimismo, se
observa una ampliación de los espacios de acción: además de participar en
organizaciones representativas y ONG, las mujeres crean asociaciones productivas y
proyectos sociales propios. No obstante, persisten obstáculos como la falta de
recursos y el limitado respaldo institucional, desafíos que afrontan con resiliencia e
innovación. La investigación concluye que el liderazgo shipibo-konibo en Pucallpa
atraviesa un proceso de transformación, redefiniendo el poder, los roles de género y
el papel de las mujeres en el desarrollo social y económico amazónico. Se resalta la
urgencia de fortalecer estos avances mediante políticas y apoyos que reconozcan y
potencien su aporte.
This research examines the transformation of gender and power dynamics in Amazonian Indigenous communities, focusing on the participation and leadership of Shipibo-Konibo women in Pucallpa, Peru. Based on a qualitative study with women holding leadership roles in diverse organizations, it highlights significant shifts in how they exercise leadership, challenging traditional stereotypes and revealing the complexity of their experiences. The study identifies clear generational differences: younger leaders tend to prioritize personal development and community networking, while older women focus on meeting collective needs and addressing social injustices. Rural-to-urban migration and access to higher education emerge as key factors shaping these leadership paths. Younger women also show evolving priorities, often delaying marriage and motherhood in order to pursue professional growth and community engagement. The research also notes a diversification of leadership spaces. Beyond participating in representative organizations or NGOs, Shipibo-Konibo women are increasingly creating and managing productive associations and social initiatives of their own. However, they continue to face persistent challenges, including limited financial resources and insufficient institutional support, which they confront with resilience and creativity. The thesis concludes that Shipibo-Konibo women’s leadership in Pucallpa is undergoing a profound transformation, reshaping how power, gender roles, and women’s contributions are understood within Amazonian Indigenous communities. It underscores the importance of consolidating these advances and expanding opportunities through stronger institutional backing and public policies that recognize and support their crucial role in community development.
