Sumario:In Chile, artisanal fishing has been defined and regulated as an extractive subsector, lacking socio-cultural elements. As a result of this, gender and women have been excluded under the supposed universality and neutrality of their regulation, which today is questioned by territorial organizations that, organized in a network, demand an economic and symbolic recognition of their work. The objective of this article is to analyze the political arenas between the State and organizations of fisher women, problematizing the current gender institutionality in this productive subsector, through the ethnographic observation of socio-state interfaces, the application of semi-structured interviews to actors key, and triangulation with secondary sources. The results show a growing process of political empowerment of women's organizations, which, through common learning spaces, pressure the State in the search for democratic instances of participation.
