8/ In Conclusion
Extractivism doesn’t just extract resources—it reproduces structural violence and gender inequalities. Tackling violence against women also means rethinking extractive models and their impacts on bodies-territories.

7/ Resistance
Despite these violences, women in Abya Yala and Indonesia are not merely victims. They lead struggles to defend their territories, bodies, and knowledge, building alternatives to extractivist models.

6/ A Decolonial Feminist Perspective
The study emphasizes decolonial feminist approaches to understand these violences. Seeing women’s bodies as extensions of territories reveals how extractivism impacts both nature and communities.

For example, Wayuu women in Colombia have lost access to medicinal plants, disrupting spiritual and health practices.

5/ Epistemic Violence
Extractive projects erode ancestral knowledge, much of it passed down by women. This undermines their roles as seed keepers, biodiversity guardians, and cultural memory holders.

Moreover, new divisions of labor tied to extractivism further precarize women’s work.

4/ Economic Violence
Extractivism often strips women of access to land. In Colombia, Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities face territorial dispossession, while in Indonesia, patriarchal land tenure systems exclude women from land ownership.

3/ Physical Violence
In Abya Yala, extractivist feminicides, such as Berta Cáceres in Honduras, exemplify how violence serves as a warning to entire communities resisting dispossession.
In Indonesia, sexual violence linked to extractive projects has also been reported, albeit with less visibility.

2/ Extractivism and Violence
The expansion of extractive capital not only transforms territories but also perpetuates physical, economic, and epistemic violence against women, who become “body-territories” contested by these projects.
