Participation of women in local organizational processes: El Tambo-Tola Community, 2019-2020

Abstract

The study of organizational processes in communities allows us to understand and understand the behavior of those involved, recognizing the role of women and their level of participation in organizational activities, essential for self-management of community needs. The article focuses on understanding and identifying the forms of local participation and the relationships between subjects, from a gender perspective. The investigative logic starts from the theoretical-conceptual review and from the field work, supported by techniques such as observation, interviews and the focus group, allowing to delve into the analysis through the account of the inhabitants of the community and specifically of the women. The study specifies the organizational structure of the El Tambo community, in its different dimensions, political, social and economic, as well as the mechanisms and spaces for dialogue developed in the community and the role of women in these organizational processes.
