Summary
Systematic exclusion of indigenous women traders from Guanajuato's historic center, designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site, undermines both economic benefits and cultural heritage preservation. Since 2012, authorities under the Institutional Revolutionary Party have marginalized these women through visual and spatial policies, displacing them from commercial spaces despite their role in sustaining local handicraft traditions. The study reveals a tension between heritage tourism's economic gains and social equity, highlighting how political interests drive exclusionary urban policies that disproportionately affect indigenous women.
