| Abstract (English): | Objective. Analyze how gender inequity manifests in contexts of poverty in different environmental risk scenarios in Mexico. Methods. Qualitative design based on six discussion groups and 54 in-depth interviews with women from six exposed communities: two to environmental manganese in a mining district, two in an industrial corridor, and two bordering a sanitary landfill. A document review of environmental and health studies in each area was done to relate them to the women's perspective on the problem. Results. In the three case studies, by gender roles, women stay at home and do housework and, therefore, are subject to intense environmental exposure when carrying out their daily tasks, such as house cleaning. Interview and discussion group results were found to be related to epidemiological study results. In the case of the mining district, women's perceptions are consistent with study comments on adverse cognitive effects of manganese exposure. In all three cases, there are serious limitations on women's political participation in environmental risk management. Conclusions. Due to conditions of inequity, women are highly exposed to environmental health risks and their social participation in solving environmental problems is quite limited. These results have social and environmental policy implications in the areas studied, especially with regard to risk assessment, management, and communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo. Analizar cómo se manifiesta la inequidad de género en contextos de pobreza en diferentes escenarios de riesgo ambiental en México. Métodos. Diseño cualitativo basado en seis grupos de discusión y 54 entrevistas en profun-didad con mujeres de seis comunidades expuestas, dos al manganeso ambiental en un distrito minero, dos en un corredor industrial y dos aledañas a un relleno sanitario. Se llevó a cabo una revisión documental de los estudios ambientales y de salud realizados en cada zona para relacionarlos con la visión que las mujeres tienen del problema. Resultados. En los tres casos de estudio, por los papeles de género, las mujeres permanecen en el hogar y realizan el trabajo doméstico y, como consecuencia, su exposición ambiental es intensa cuando llevan a cabo sus tareas cotidianas, como la limpieza de la vivienda. Se comprobó que los resultados de las entrevistas y de los grupos de discusión guardan relación con los de los estudios epidemiológicos. En el caso del distrito minero, lo que perciben las mujeres concuerda con lo que se señala en los estudios sobre los efectos cognitivos adversos por exposición al manganeso. En los tres casos, las mujeres tienen serias limitaciones de participación política en la gestión del riesgo ambiental. Conclusiones. Por las condiciones de inequidad, las mujeres están muy expuestas a los riesgos ambientales para la salud y su participación social en la solución de los problemas ambientales es muy limitada. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para las políticas sociales y ambientales en las zonas estudiadas, especialmente respecto a la evaluación, gestión y comunicación de los riesgos.
