De l’invisibilité à l’émancipation par le droit international ? Penser la subalternité à la lumière des mobilisations des femmes autochtones des Amériques pour leurs droits

This contribution analyzes the strategies of resistance led by Indigenous women from the Americas on the United Nations stage, with a particular focus on their forms of participation, their claims, and their demands for rights. In a context where they have long been marginalized in international discussions, it raises the question of how international law can contribute to the emancipation of a social group assigned to a subaltern position like Indigenous women of the Americas. More broadly, this raises the issue of the recognition of pluralism and the adoption of an intercultural approach based on non-domination. This contribution seeks to understand how Indigenous women from the Americas have mobilized to defend their rights within the UN system, and the ways in which they participate in the evolution of international norms and practices through their counter-discourses and counter-practices. Drawing on contributions from subaltern studies and Indigenous studies, this article explores, more specifically, the collective and transcontinental strategies led by Indigenous women representatives and activists from the Americas, and examines their participation in relevant spaces of the United Nations.
