1999
Montes, C.S.
There are different perceptions of gender among and within different cultures, depending on nationality, ethnic grouping, position of power, social class, religion, age, profession and local environment. This article deals with a personal experience of the author, in agroforestry research and the difficulties she encountered in her professional development due to a frequent lack of awareness about gender issues by other professionals and the local community. The article analyses and tries to promote an understanding of the gender perspective in the Peruvian university system, the rural farming communities, and in an agroforestry research team in the Peruvian Amazon basin.
