    Abstract:
    In the rural communities on the coast and in the mountains of Oaxaca, it is increasingly common to find a woman at the head of the household carrying out key functions within the domestic group. These women can be seen working at home, looking after the crops, raising chickens, sewing coffee, fetching firewood and/or water or engaged in handicrafts. This is in addition to looking after the children and being responsible for all of their meals. Faced with the need to improve their socioeconomic situations, many of these women have joined programmes that promote emancipatory activities, despite the fact that this further increases their workload both within and outside the home.

    Abstract: In the rural communities on the coast and in the mountains of Oaxaca, it is increasingly common to find a woman at the head of the household carrying out key functions within the domestic group. These women can be seen working at home, looking after the crops, raising chickens, sewing coffee, fetching firewood and/or water or engaged in handicrafts. This is in addition to looking after the children and being responsible for all of their meals. Faced with the need to improve their socioeconomic situations, many of these women have joined programmes that promote emancipatory activities, despite the fact that this further increases their workload both within and outside the home. En las comunidades rurales de la costa y sierra de Oaxaca, cada vez es más frecuente encontrarse una mujer como cabeza de familia, cumpliendo funciones clave dentro del grupo doméstico. A las mujeres se las puede ver trabajando en la casa, cultivando el huerto, criando aves de corral, cosechando café, trayendo leña y/o agua o elaborando artesanías. A esto, hay que sumar el cuidado de los y las hijas y la responsabilidad de todo el proceso alimentario. Ante la necesidad de mejorar su situación socioeconómica, muchas de ellas se han apuntado a programas que promueven actividades emancipadoras, aunque eso haya supuesto aumentar su carga de trabajo dentro y fuera de casa.
