Women's empowerment of maquila

Reflection from a formative experience

Abstract

Gender studies at universities contribute to raising awareness about the conditions of women, from the binary patterns of relationships in culture and social development. This awakening of conscience is a sign of the emancipation processes and curricular promotion that contribute to enhancing the knowledge generated by agents of cultural production and from non-binary logics, among which women have their position. The Polytechnic University of Nicaragua has several training initiatives with different focused axes; one of these is about the empowerment of working women through the Central Institute of Legal and Political Studies, ICEJP - UPOLI.
