Diversos estudios aseveran que la integración de las mujeres en actividades económicas, les puede proveer de autonomía financiera y, en consecuencia, las encamina al proceso de empoderamiento femenino. Esto se presenta como una oportunidad para quienes, generalmente, se unen a organizaciones colectivas con el fin de mejorar su condición social y económica. A pesar de ello, se observa que la participación de las mujeres en la vida pública y privada continúa siendo notoriamente desigual. En este sentido, el objetivo es determinar los factores económicos y culturales que propician o inhiben el empoderamiento de las mujeres en organizaciones colectivas de turismo rural en el estado de Chiapas, México. La metodología que se implementó fue de corte cualitativo, mediante el estudio de casos múltiples y la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a mujeres originarias de los municipios de La Trinitaria y Amatenango del Valle en el estado de Chiapas, México. Los resultados permiten dar cuenta que la incorporación de las mujeres en el trabajo turístico es considerada como una oportunidad para acceder a un trabajo remunerado y tener control sobre sus recursos económicos; sin embargo, cotidianamente experimentan falta de autoconfianza, una marcada brecha en el tiempo promedio destinado a quehaceres domésticos y la permanente reproducción de relaciones patriarcales.
Several studies affirm that the integration of rural women in economic activities, can provide them with financial autonomy, consequently, these activities can lead them to the process of female empowerment. This is presented as an opportunity for women who, generally, join collective organizations in order to improve their social and economic condition; however, the unequal role they play in their public participation is notorious, therefore, the objective of this article is to determine the economic and cultural factors that promote or inhibit the empowerment of women in collective organizations of rural tourism in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The methodology employed was qualitative through the study of multiple cases and the application of semi-structured interviews with women from the municipalities of La Trinitaria and Amatenango del Valle in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. The results indicates that the incorporation of women in tourism work is considered an opportunity to access paid work and to have control over their economic resources; however, on a daily basis they experience a lack of self-confidence, a marked gap in the average of time spent on domestic chores and the permanent reproduction of patriarchal relationships.
