Impacto del empoderamiento económico de las mujeres de la Red de Apoyo y Comunicaciones (RAC) Atlántico

Abstract

The impact of women's economic empowerment refers to their ability to make economic decisions and control their economic resources, including access to employment, education, financial services, ownership and control of property and assets. This empowerment can improve gender equality, reduce poverty and promote sustainable economic development (UN Women, n.d.). When women have access to economic resources, they can improve their quality of life and that of their families, increase their participation in the economy, and have a positive impact on their communities and the economy in general. To achieve this, actions and policies are required that remove legal and cultural barriers that limit women's access to economic resources and opportunities, strengthen women's skills and abilities through education and training, provide access to adequate financial services , promote equal pay and support entrepreneurship and the creation of women-owned businesses (ONU Mujeres, s.f). Once these barriers or gaps that exist regarding opportunities for women are broken, they will have more access to a better quality of life, financially, at work, and independently, their empowerment will be noticeable since there will be a lack of dependence on masculinity. ''The changes that we as members of the support and communications network (RAC) provide are those of empowerment as a woman of your personality, that you know that you are unique and that only you can say and decide about yourself, confidence, the security and respect that you as a woman, as a mother, wife, daughter and member of society demand but at the same time give it, this is essential to achieve inner change and self-confidence.
