Current situation in Politic participation of the Women from Tonalá, Puerto Morazán, 2016

Abstract

In the last years in Nicaragua, the participation of women in different society levels has been promoted, with the purpose of making them feel part and also take ownership in the development of their communities. In Nicaragua, the area where this participation has most been seen has been in the political sphere, where even laws that promote the equal participation of women have been reformed in all the processes of political choice. However, it is relevant to know, if these objectives set by the central government, are also reaching women in rural communities, if female participation has been promoted with the same boom that is promoted in the cities; For this, it is proposed to know the participation rates of women in Tonalá community, through a survey distributed by the 12 neighborhoods of the community and applied to 193 women, where the low female participation was verified despite all public policies that encourage it.
