The article seeks to assess the role of women in the National Confederation of Campesinas, Indígenas y Originarias - Bartolina Sisa in the Bolivian constituent process and their influence on the positivization of rights, from the perspective of decolonial feminism. The problem that guides the research can be summarized in the following question: How did Bartolina Sisa’s women contribute to the debate and the positivization of rights in the 2009 Political Constitution? The general objective of the text is, starting from the understanding of decolonial feminism, to analyze the performance of the Bartolinas Sisa’s women in the Constituent process in Bolivia. The research method applied was qualitative, through the use of bibliographic and documentary research techniques, with an explanatory strategy. As a result of the research, it appears that the Bartolina Sisa’s women composed/compose a group of Latino and marginalized women, whose struggle can be characterized as decolonial-feminist, as it is based on the search for the elimination of gender inequalities in Bolivia and on the depatriarchization of its society, in addition to its decolonization, with direct consequences of its participation in the Bolivian constituent process. As a result of its performance, Bolivia now has political rights for indigenous women, recognition of the Plurinational State, and provision of collective rights.

Keywords : Sisa Bartolina; constituent process; Bolivia; decolonial feminism; rights.
