Abstract:

SPANISH ABSTRACT:
Mediante una caracterización, en términos socioculturales, de las mujeres ejidatarias en cuatro ejidos de Baja California Sur, se estudian sus procesos de acceso a la tierra y el derecho agrario, los principales patrones de herencia y las desigualdades de género en su entorno rural ejidal. Se utilizan entrevistas semiestructuradas, a profundidad y diario de campo con perspectiva de género. El porcentaje de mujeres con derechos agrarios es mínimo y 90% los adquirió por herencia. Más de la mitad considera que existe discriminación hacia las mujeres. Los patrones culturales de acceso a la tierra, las costumbres sobre la herencia, y en general, el papel de la mujer campesina en la sociedad propician la situación de desigualdad de género que prevalece en el campo. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
We aim to describe women ejidatarias socioculturally in four ejidos —village communal holdings— of Baja California Sur, including their processes of ac- cess to land and agrarian rights, the main patterns of inheritance and gender inequalities in a rural environment. Semi-structured and in-depth interviews, and field diaries with a gender perspective are used on methodological ap- proach. The percentage of women with land rights is minimal and 90% ac- quired them by inheritance. More than half believe that there is discrimination against women. Cultural patterns of access to land, customs over inheritance, and in general the role of peasant women in society propitiate the situation of inequality currently prevailing in the countryside for rural women.
