Descripción: This executive summary of the book Voices from the Coca Fields: Women Building Rural Communities explores the experiences of women coca growers in the southern part of Colombia where the Andes mountains meet the Amazon basin. Using an intersectional approach to women’s experiences, it explores how rurality, gender, the armed conflict, and illegality affect the life trajectories of women coca growers in this region, an area that was subjected to late colonization and is home to illegal armed actors, violence, poverty, and a weak state presence. Coca cultivation in this Andes-Amazon junction has provided the main source of income for campesino families at the same time that it has affected women’s roles in family and community life and has increased their vulnerability vis-à-vis armed actors. This executive summary presents the book’s main conclusions, exploring the interactions among campesino identity, the social and political demands of women, the impacts of gender-based violence in rural Colombia, and the country’s drug prohibition.
