Abstract
Through a case study, the article analyzes how the practice of sexual assault is a way to pressure indigenous people to leave their territories. It is discussed how some aspects of the O’dami worldview are related to embodied cognition. The study methodology is qualitative and ethnographic, consisting mainly of in-depth interviews. The analysis departs from an interdisciplinary approach between anthropology and cognitive sciences. The results show that O’dami culture establishes a link between body, soul, and nature. It is concluded that to analyze violence against indigenous women and girls, it is necessary to do so in an integral manner, including cultural dimensions. The main limitation was the insecurity that prevails in the studied region, which prevented visits to the community. Therefore, interviews were conducted in the city of Chihuahua.
