Abstract

Overcoming adversity to achieve better life conditions, has led women to assume big and small challenges. Fear, submission and powerlessness have been the face of a latent reality, where women haven’t been able to confront a value system that doesn’t recognize their participating role in the socialization process not to mention of change. It was necessary to promote a human and social articulation strategy; The Circle of Female Friends, and Female Coworkers. A phenomena that faced the widening of poverty through a formative process that that was performed in the context of their communities. Sharing this experience as a good practice, has the purpose to highlight the importance of local organization as a socialization resource and a search for satisfactions and dreams. To know that, from associative processes, it is possible to build the hope and the ethos of a new social dynamic. The methodology is done from a qualitative perspective, from a dialogical process which is used to internalized the “I” and then in the “other” and “others”, without gender exclusion until achieving an association of common goals and interests, where women are the main protagonists. Opening the path to new trails, canalizing knowledge and overcome social and spatial immobility, achieving a broad social articulation, with new social relations and become aware of its historical role in the communities could be part of the main achievements obtained.
