Vulnerability context of women oyster shellers (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA) in ejido Sinaloa primera sección, Cárdenas, Tabasco
Abstract
In this study, the Livelihoods approach was used to identify
the vulnerability context of women devoted to oyster shelling
(Crassostrea virginica). Field work was carried out in Ejido
Sinaloa Primera Sección, in the municipality of Cárdenas,
Tabasco. Different tools were used to obtain information, such
as semi-structured interviews with key informants, participant
observation and participative workshops with women. The main
elements of the vulnerability context detected were: opening
of Boca de Panteones (which salinized lagoons and land),
oyster closed season, hurricanes, unemployment, migration,
and extenuating workdays in domestic labor. It is concluded
that women oyster shellers are the ones most affected by the
capitalist exploitation system, which violates them economically,
turning them into the poorest and most vulnerable population
group. They are also the ones who have to deal with a large part
of the effects of deterioration in purchasing power and have to
seek out survival strategies in a globalized world.
