In Oaxaca - with one of the greatest potentials for wind power globally - some claim that wind energy development is another form of colonialism where local communities are paying the high social costs of large-scale projects while companies keep the benefits; the social fabric of the remaining Indigenous peoples is being torn apart in the name of climate change. However, others claim that wind energy is elevating the livelihoods of communities and is suggesting new forms of structures that allow women to thrive, changing and ameliorating gender dynamics. This research looks, from a human rights and gender perspective, at the Gunaa Sicarú wind farm, also known as the "Unión Hidalgo case," located in Oaxaca, México. The Zapotec community, civil society, and activists have been raising allegations of human rights violations since 2017 when Electricité de France (EDF) started planning the construction of a wind farm on the Indigenous land of Unión Hidalgo. Multiple legal proceedings nationally and internationally have taken place, including a civil lawsuit in France under the paradigmatic Duty of Vigilance Law that mandates French companies to identify and prevent risks to human rights and the environment that could result from business activities.
