Sumario:Faced with the aggressive expansion of capitalist exploitation projects on territories in Latin America, organised rural movements are resisting through diverse practices linked to territorial and food sovereignty. In many cases, these resistances are led by women, lesbians, transvestites, trans and non-binary people. Focused on the struggle for land and the effective recognition of land rights, they oppose the deepening inequalities caused by extractivism, which, as they denounce, is based on class, ethnic-racial and patriarchal violence. Organised, they demand the defence of life through diverse practices associated with food production and the transformation of socio-ecological and rural-urban relations. In this context, we aim to understand the production of territory(ies) by mapping and analysing protest actions and mobilisations led by women or involving gender issues in the countryside of Argentina and Brazil. This research is based on data recorded in 2021, available in the Data Bank of Struggles for Spaces and Territories (DATALUTA) and the Ruralities and Territories (INDES-FHCSYS/UNSE-CONICET) research group in Argentina, created within the framework of the international cooperation project ‘Socioterritorial Movements in a Comparative Perspective
