Género y la participación política en al mujer Salasaca

Abstract

The present analysis is based on an investigation of the Technical University of Ambato, about the political participation in the Salasaca woman, the same one that was carried out with a sample of 354 individuals of the indigenous population of Salasaca, province of Tungurahua. The theoretical framework was made from a methodological proposal of southern theories that establishes a dialogue of transcultural knowledge and translations, favoring a qualitative-quantitative investigation, surveys and approaching through visits. Emphasis was placed on the processes of exogenous and endogenous colonization, which affected the construction of gender and its roles. The influence of the cycle of poverty in which women have been submerged, due to their exposure of a colonization imposed by the Spanish conquest, and perpetuated by the Ecuadorian mestizo culture that ended in little access to education, socioeconomic status and political participation. In the absence of these activities, there is no awareness of the way in which the human being wants at all times to intervene in a healthy and democratic political participation, this is confirmed by the data obtained in the research, in subjects of citizenship and the principles of participation.
