AB Since Cynthia Enloe asked, ‘Where are the women?’ in 1989, studies about the place ofwomen in International Relations have increased. However, most of the analyses since then have fo-cused on the participation of women in international organisations, events and institutional spaces,making invisible other practices and places occupied by black or indigenous women from the South.This article aims to highlight the role of women at the international level, analysing their perfor-mance in disputes over the meanings of development in Latin America and the Caribbean, based onstruggles against extractivism. In addition to denouncing the impacts of this development model,these struggles seek to construct alternatives that, although they could be essentially local, have beenmultiplied and articulated throughout the Latin American and the Caribbean territory, as part of abroader resistance to the dominant extractivism in the region. These struggles will be mapped usinga database of 259 conflicts around mining activities, developed by the Research Group on Interna-tional Relations and Global South (GRISUL).
