Kuvaus:This article summarizes part of the results of a research on the contemporary socio- cultural movements of women in Costa Rica—20th Century, in charge of the Center for Culture and Development Research (CICDE), between 2009 and 2011. In patriotic committees –political organization born in Costa Rica to fight against neo-capitalism—women play a protagonist role in the struggle for the survival of the social state. This article considers that globalization has implications and provokes significant changes in relation to gender relations. Some of these changes are evident in exclusion and inequality processes accentuated in the living conditions of women. New voices of women in these mixed groups are highlighted, as well as recent collective projects that denunciate social, economic, political and gender injustices.
