Violencia de Genero y Empoderamiento de la mujer en el Colectivo Ana de Peralta de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

Gender violence and female empowerment are two realities that the country is currently experiencing, on the one hand we find that the rate of violence at the national level in recent years has increased brutally, while the term female empowerment is gaining strength very slowly, This is why the objective of the research is focused on: Identifying how the empowerment of women helps to reduce gender violence. For this, we worked with 40 women who are part of the Ana de Peralta collective in the city of Ambato, with a mixed research approach, which is why documentary collection was used for the qualitative field, while for the quantitative one, we worked with two surveys, for the independent variable the survey on Social and Gender Violence in the areas of influence of the Observatories of Social and Gender Violence was used, while for the dependent variable the instrument to measure the empowerment of women was used, same ones that were made in Mexico City. At the end of the study it was possible to determine that female empowerment is one of the most important factors to eradicate gender violence
