CASTANEDA GOMEZ, Mónica María et al. Women's Community Leadership and Expressions of Advocacy in the Urabá Subregion. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.83-100.  Epub Oct 08, 2023. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.6177.

Community leadership is an expression of advocacy in itself. This article proposes to recognize women's community leadership of the Juntas Somos Más Network, their achievements, and expressions of advocacy in the Urabá subregion. A qualitative approach and socio-critical paradigm was adopted, which allows us to unveil the structures of the social order on which the guarantees of rights are put at risk. Interviews, focus groups and workshops were conducted. The main findings include the characterization of the women leaders of the Network, the expressions on advocacy, the contradictory relationship with the State, the vindication for the daily life, and the search for the common.

Keywords : Community Leader; Women; Political Advocacy; State; and Daily Life.
