Análisis de los factores que influyen en la participación política de las mujeres en Puerto Colombia, Atlántico en el siglo XXI

Abstract

This PAT focused on studying the political participation of women in the municipality of Puerto Colombia, with the objective of identifying existing obstacles and proposing measures to improve their inclusion in local politics. Through a survey as the method selected for the collection of information, the opinions of women involved in the political context were collected on the representation of women and the effectiveness of current policies that seek to promote their participation in politics. The results of the survey showed that a large majority of respondents believe that women's political participation is fundamental to strengthening local democracy. In addition, there was widespread support for the implementation of specific policies, such as political training programs for women, gender quotas in political office, and awareness campaigns on the importance of women's political participation. However, the results also showed some skepticism regarding the effectiveness of current measures, suggesting the need to review and adjust government policies to ensure their effectiveness. In addition, low participation in political debates was identified, pointing to areas for improvement in terms of civic engagement and political participation in the community. The study concludes that it is essential to address the cultural, political and socioeconomic factors that limit women's political participation in Puerto Colombia. It proposes the development of concrete strategies, such as political training programs for young women, the creation of support networks and the promotion of female leadership in the community. These measures are key to strengthening local democracy and ensuring equitable representation in political decision-making, thus reducing the gender gap in the local political sphere.
