This paper attempts to demonstrate how the artworks in the exhibition "Madres plantas y mujeres luchadoras. Visiones desde Cantagallo", created by the Shipibo artists of the Non Shinanbo collective, constitute a testimonial record that evidences the strategies that emerged within Cantagallo, an urban indigenous community, in the context of the measures taken by the Peruvian State during the first stage of the Covid-19 pandemic. Through the "reading" and analysis of a selection of artworks and based on interviews with the artists, it will be illustrated how their work creates an effective testimony that emphasizes the empowerment of the women in the community, the significance of the bonds of solidarity within the community and the relevance of Shipibo traditional knowledge, which is open to heterogeneous elements, thus evidencing its modernity and complexity.

Introduction. Extension projects promoted at the university level serve as mechanisms for the betterment and growth of the rural communities. These projects might end up being longitudinal, where the constant mentoring and coaching is fundamental to continue helping the communities. This study examined the impact of extension projects that focused on rural tourism and entrepreneurship to a cooperative. Objective. The descriptive study seeks to portray the importance of university extension processes during 2015-2018 regarding community development, based on a qualitative case study of five women in Sarapiquí. Methodology. The methodology was based on a case study as a detailed description. The focus was descriptive (Baxter y Jack, 2008; Flyvbjerg, 2011; Lichtman, 2013). The case study focused on the experiences of five women, who were trained during 2015-2018 in rural tourism and entrepreneurship coordinated by the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Results. The results suggest that women empowerment is highly linked to their own personal process, but also to university extension projects. Also, it was evidence that several public institutions have contributed to the community growth. On the other hand, the participants indicated their participation in community activities with various institutions for the growth of the community, which required leadership and empowerment to express their needs and carry out their personal and communal projects. However, it was emphasized that more processes are needed to fully booster the community growth, the empowerment process, and the personal and professional skills. Conclusions. The women of the study highlighted how the institutional and academic alliance promote community growth, thus the importance to reflect on this and continue promoting community participation to guarantee constant growth.

The project "Doing theology from existential peripheries" is an investigation carried out by the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development of the Holy See. Its objective is to deepen the teaching of Pope Francis and promote a renewal of theology. The project seeks to discover the wisdom of those who have been marginalized and excluded from society and the Church, in order to nourish and grow Christian thought from a deep sense of faith. Interviews and discussion groups have been conducted in different cities to gather information on ten common themes related to faith and the transformation of lives and hearts. The article presents a theological research on the experience of existential peripheries in different regions. In Europe-Mediterranean, Teresa Forcades highlights the wisdom of the marginalized who have experienced failure and find God in that process. In North America, Stan Chu Ilo and Meghan J. Clark emphasize the importance of listening to and accompanying those on the peripheries of life, seeking to understand their stories and experiences. The objective of the research is to identify the theological aspects in these situations and find the hope and lament of those on the peripheries. This text reflects on the inclusion of LGBT+ Catholics in the Church and the need to create safe spaces for them. Experiences of exclusion and discrimination are mentioned, but it also highlights the importance of considering all people as brothers and sisters in Christ. Additionally, it discusses the resistance of migrants and the importance of defending the dignity of the most vulnerable. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of listening to and learning from the experiences of the poor and weak, as they also have much to teach. The article speaks about the importance of listening to the voices of existential peripheries and how this is part of Pope Francis' aggiornamento plan for the Church. The need for inclusive and humble leadership is highlighted, as well as the importance of doing theology from existential peripheries. Examples from Africa and Oceania are mentioned, where the importance of listening to the poor and indigenous peoples is emphasized, and how their relationship with creation is intrinsically linked to their identity and culture. The text presents the concerns and fears of communities in Oceania due to the threat of climate change and the destruction of their homes and livelihoods. The rise in sea level, loss of crops and marine species, and destruction of native forests are highlighted. Additionally, the relationship of these communities with the land and the importance of preserving it are mentioned. The article also addresses inclusion in the Catholic Church, especially in relation to women and LGBTQ+ individuals. The difficulties faced by immigrant mothers are mentioned, and the exclusion of women from ordination is questioned. The stance of Pope Francis towards LGBTQ+ individuals is highlighted, although the need to eliminate hurtful language in the official teaching of the Church is noted. The gradual changes introduced by the Pope to empower women and address discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals are mentioned. [Extracted from the article]

In Mexico, educational institutions and government initiatives aimed at closing the achievement gap continue to struggle to provide access to higher education for young adults from indigenous communities. This article analyzes one model that serves young people in areas without institutions of higher education. The model in question is the distance learning model of the National Technological Institute of Mexico in the indigenous community of the municipality of Tolimán, Querétaro, Mexico. The researchers endeavored to learn about the experiences, expectations, and greater meaning around higher education by using qualitative methodology including focus groups. Among the findings, researchers observed that the distance learning model resolves two obstacles to the educational trajectory of indigenous youth. These are distance from university campuses and scarcity of financial resources among families to support students living outside the community while they study. Researchers also found that higher education delays the cultural mandates of marriage and parenthood, increasing autonomy and empowerment among women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Promoting the empowerment and organization of rural women into collectives that generate income and contribute to the improvement of the living conditions in their communities, are necessary actions to achieve sustainable development. In Mexico, these strategies must be included in public policies and be in accordance with the Sustainable Development objectives issued in the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations Organization: gender equality and the end of poverty. In this article experiences of women in rural areas are described, the forms of organization, strategies for labor inclusion and progress in empowerment in the community of Chiquihuitlán, Jalisco. It is a qualitative, descriptive study, with the application of group interviews that allowed interaction with people obtaining important data for analysis and discussion. In the results, experiences, obstacles and challenges overcome are described, the institutional support received and the existing distance between the public policies outlined by the State and the reality perceived through the discourse of women.

The article describes the progress of the demographic transition in rural areas of Latin America and its impact on the dynamics of family farming in the continent, highlighting the presence of this issue from the contribution of Chayanov. It then evaluates the relationship between demographic dynamics and the topics of debate that appear in the literature on family farming, in particular the characteristics of the "new rurality", the issue of gender and the empowerment of women and the issue of intergenerational transfer of productive units. The demographic context appears as one of the factors that condition the evolution of family farming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the beginning of the 20th century, some fashion magazines started to include fewer commercial photographs and gave more social meaning to their covers and content. Images that break social silence in editorial proposals, especially on the cover, help raise awareness of hidden issues. In this context, the role of media organizations and the function of public relations (PR) become relevant in establishing an inclusive view of these situations among target audiences. The research aimed to identify the social issues related to women that have been underexposed in magazines, specially fashion magazines, to analyze the non-verbal codes and signs to determine whether the message conveyed is responsible. With the support of visual semiotics (Eco, 1968), color semiotics (Costa, 2003), and Responsible Communication (RC) (Hernández-Flores, 2019), the study examines to what extent these cover photographs denounce such issues and create -or do not create- a responsible graphic message for audiences.The methodology is qualitative, descriptive, and non-experimental, using content analysis to identify graphic non-verbal codes and signs, thus determining the presence or absence of Responsible Communication. Vogue was selected as the fashion magazine for the study, being the best positioned in the market. The covers were chosen based on the following criteria: they had to address topics related to femininity and social issues, generate significant interaction on social media and fashion blogs, and respond to the categories established by the research concerning hidden issues: a) violence against women, b) body positivity, c) mental illness, and d) women's empowerment. The sample considers the cover photographs of the following editions: Vogue Poland's "Love & Intimacy" (May and June 2020), Vogue Portugal's "The Madness Issue" (July 2020), and Vogue Greece's "Every Body" (March 2022). The most representative results reveal moderately responsible messages regarding the visibility of social issues. For instance, in the cover photograph of Vogue Portugal (2020), "The Madness Issue," which seeks to represent a type of mental illness, public discontent is observed through social media comments, especially from those suffering from such disorders as the image conveyed is not empathetic. Similarly, the cover of Vogue Greece (2022), "Every Body," presents various themes of the female body without stigmas related to size and skin color. Moreover, there is openness in transmitting topics that some consider "controversial," such as the cover of Vogue Poland (2020), "Love & Intimacy," which shows a woman breastfeeding. This cover was applauded in some cases and criticized in others for being considered vulgar. The conclusions highlight that, although the main objective of the photographs is not to generate social awareness about women but to dress the cover with social issues to help the magazine's positioning, their contribution undoubtedly helps to expose hidden problems among their audiences, as they open a space for reflection on cultural and social content. A graphic message, seen as a whole, can foster greater awareness and reflection among readers. However, there is still a long way to go in editorial products and their proposals, especially in ensuring a better relationship with their audiences through the responsible representation of hidden issues and their social impact.

The female figure in cinematographic art has been shown through archetypes and performing different functions. We propose in this study to analyze female characters through the audiovisual narrative in two emblematic films of Hitchcock's cinematography: Spellbound and Vertigo, in which women are seen as empowered, but also subjected to a denial of their own identity. We consider that the treatment of women in the cinema of that time lies in the social situation of the same, suffering a discriminatory treatment, which is admitted by the female characters justifying it in a crush, which annuls the own personality.

The representation of women in the field of animation goes beyond mere entertainment. It holds significant social importance as it reflects, reproduces, and shapes societal perceptions of gender roles. Through animation, a visual dialogue is established between creators and the audience, providing a platform to examine and challenge the diverse facets of femininity. From bold and empowered leaders to vulnerable yet resilient women, animation offers a multifaceted lens through which socially constructed and limited perceptions can be defied. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on portraying female characters who defy stereotypes and embody multifaceted qualities. Devilman Crybaby and Japan Skins are two recent animations that seem to exemplify this shift, presenting female characters who challenge traditional gender norms and demonstrate agency and strength. Hence, the scientific manuscript presented aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the portrayal of female characters in two contemporary Japanese animations, Devilman Crybaby (2018) and Japan Skins (2020). These animations, created and directed by Masaaki Yuasa, have garnered significant attention and acclaim worldwide. Since their inclusion in Netflix's animation catalog, they have captivated audiences, especially among children and adolescents. Our study delves into the implications of women in animation, exploring the key attributes of female characters and their profound impact on visual storytelling. To conduct our research, we employed a qualitative non-experimental design, opting for content and multimodal analysis as our chosen methodological approach. This approach allowed us to explore not only the visual aspects of the animations but also the underlying narratives and character dynamics. Through careful examination, we sought to uncover the nuances and complexities of the female characters' portrayals, as well as their impact on the overall storytelling experience. The findings of our analysis shed light on the remarkable depth and significance of the female characters in both Devilman Crybaby and Japan Skins. The main protagonists and supporting female characters in these series serve as powerful representatives of modern gender roles. They exemplify traits such as leadership, bravery, and resilience, challenging preconceived notions and offering nuanced perspectives on femininity. Their presence enriches the narrative and significantly influences the plot development and the decision-making processes of the male characters. In Devilman Crybaby, for instance, the character of Miki Makimura stands out as a strong and compassionate female lead. Her unwavering determination and unwavering commitment to her beliefs inspire not only the other characters but also the audience. Similarly, in Japan Skins, the female characters display a remarkable level of agency, actively participating in the story's progression and influencing the decisions of their male counterparts. Through their actions and character arcs, these women become natural leaders within their respective groups, commanding respect, and admiration. In conclusion, our study on the portrayal of female characters in Devilman Crybaby and Japan Skins sheds light on the profound implications and significance of women in animation. Through a qualitative non-experimental design and the utilization of content and multimodal analysis, we have unraveled the multifaceted nature of these characters and their transformative impact on visual storytelling. By challenging gender norms and embodying qualities such as leadership and resilience, the depiction of female characters in Devilman Crybaby and Japan Skins goes beyond superficial empowerment. It explores the complexities of femininity, highlighting the diverse facets of womanhood. These characters exhibit a range of qualities, and they embody traits that are not confined to any gender but are universally admirable and essential for character development. It is expected that these findings will encourage the analysis of animated products within the scientific community that investigates audiovisual media, so that female representation becomes the dominant variable and the conservative approach to animations is transformed.

This article presents a decolonial feminist geopolitics of Venezuelan migration to Colombia, with Venezuelans fleeing the socialist Bolivarian Revolution and then facing discrimination and violence upon settling in capitalist Colombia amid its failing peace process context. Conflicts over migration and nationality permeate our global order of sovereign nation-states, both in north-south migrations and across the global south, while the feminisation and racialisation of migrants divides the subaltern class and facilitates capitalist exploitation. However, this paper elucidates migrants’ inter-national solidarities and grassroots peace struggles. Community organisers along the Colombia-Venezuela border – the women’s empowerment organisation Tejedores de Paz and youth leadership foundation Horizonte de Juventud – unite impoverished internally-displaced Colombians and Venezuelan immigrants to create resistance territories against xenophobia, patriarchy, and poverty. Illustrating the utility of the methodology of decolonial feminist geopolitics, I trace the reconfiguration of the spirit of sociopolitical revolution in South America through migrants’ emergent form of feminist non-state socialism.

The article titled "Towards a gender perspective in Latin American foreign policy" explores the incorporation of a gender perspective in the foreign policy of Latin American countries. Several countries such as Spain, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia have officially declared having feminist foreign policies, aiming to strengthen women's rights and economic empowerment. The article also analyzes the strategies and structural changes implemented in these countries to achieve a more inclusive and feminist foreign policy. The relevance of incorporating a gender perspective in foreign policy as part of a multilateral approach to address gender inequality is highlighted. [Extracted from the article]

This article presents diagnoses, analyses and proposals about affective-sexual relationships, primarily cis-heterosexual ones, in a selection of widely distributed, commercially successful cultural products in Argentina, which engage in dialogue with and challenge the meanings of feminist discourse and slogans. In five non-academic books published by Grupo Editorial Planeta between 2018 and 2021, and a podcast launched between 2020 and 2022 —available on Spotify—, we identify four key discussion points: the novelty of a revolution of desirous women, affective responsibility as a requirement for a democratic and less painful love, the importance of sexual pleasure for women’s empowerment and alternatives to the monogamous system. We place these products in a context of feminist popularization, the dissemination of a therapeutic culture that promotes work on oneself and subjectivation scripts, linked to the market and sexuality, that configure new models of sentimental education.

Cooperativism, due to its particularities, has great potential in favor of gender equality, despite the latent inequities in the prevailing androcentric system. The article aims to argue the way in which the cooperative identity addresses the gender perspective, particularizing in occupational segregation that exacerbates inequality between women and men. For such purposes, a qualitative research methodology has been used, with a descriptive and correlational approach. The transversality of gender in legislative and institutional matters and in public policies in the Cuban case was valued. Women's economic empowerment was addressed as a necessary process to achieve greater gender equity. From the theories of employment segmentation, occupational segregation was emphasized, at a vertical and horizontal level, given the hiring of women in highly feminized and more precarious sectors, which perpetuates the traditional roles of patriarchal roots. This proposal aims to promote female empowerment and provide a new epistemology to the gender approach in the cooperative field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: the concept of «decent work» defined by the International Labor Organization is assumed as the productive work of men and women in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity, and is proposed as one of the priority objectives of the Agenda 2030 sustainable development of the United Nations. Objective: to identify and analyze the elements that decent work involves from the perception of women microentrepreneurs who work in the natural or organic artisanal food and beverage sector to contribute to the discussion about the characteristics of the concept of decent work for women from sustainability economic and labor. Method: it involved a descriptive qualitative approach with a gender perspective and the concept of structural culture as a theoretical perspective, to analyze the elements of decent work from the perspective of women. The field work involved the participation of 5 women microentrepreneurs from an artisan collective who were given in-depth interviews. Results: from the perception of women, the essential elements for a decent job are the convictions, suspicions and interests of women microentrepreneurs, and the work-family balance. Conclusions: the absence of these elements in the labor and social structures in which women operate are an obstacle if the intention is to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, since the eradication of poverty is only possible through stable, fair and well-functioning jobs. paid. Additionally, entrepreneurship was identified as a sustainable process of empowerment for women who do not find a work space that balances convictions, concerns and interests and work-family reconciliation.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the interweaving of social discourses with the phenomenon of advertising and with other axiological, symbolic, and ideological phenomena that are attached to it. In the case at hand, the discussion of identity, femininity, and empowerment serves as the basis for presenting a method of analysis that we apply, on this occasion, to the advertising campaign "Con mucho acento" by Cervezas Cruzcampo. Through this analysis, we aim to: a) identify the strategies and tactics of the campaign, b) address the understanding of the significant aspects present in its discourse, and c) establish the values and trends related to the social and cultural context inherent in the set of institutionalized social discourses in the reality that inspires them. This method of analysis applied to the presented case reveals an identity discourse, ideological discourse, and territorial discourse that transform one of the icons of their popular culture into a banner of feminist discourse. Female empowerment as the identity of a territorial group, an icon of popular culture of the 20th century, re-signified to emotionally connect with new generations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over time, women have managed to slowly enter different fields of science, politics, education, and research, but there is still a lack of gender equity, which can cause negative results in success and progress of women in these areas. A systematic search was carried out in the PubMed, SciELO, and Cochrane Library databases, the NIH research portfolios on gender equality were reviewed, on how women entered research studies and how this participation influenced their health.; evidencing the lack of women in the leadership of clinical trials, as well as the participation in these, which leads to the limited understanding of the influence of sex and gender in the presentation of various diseases, especially those related to chronic diseases that influence with cardiovascular health or also other situations such as knowing the differences in the response to pain between men and women, which makes it relevant to generate government policies that encourage greater participation of women in society, and likewise that the women seek empowerment of their health, of their life in society.

This paper is based on a gender analysis of the main scientific and technological activities carried out by specialists linked to nuclear applications in the nuclear sector and the Cuban nuclear science and technology program. All existing information regarding participation and leadership in science and innovation projects was collected, including projects implemented with the International Atomic Energy Agency, scientific publications, the Nuclear Energy and Advanced Technologies Agency (AENTA) Awards, Cuban Academy of Science Awards, National Innovation Awards, AENTA Branch Forum, international awards, state scientific-technological protection services - radiological surveillance and specialized productions. The analysis has been carried out for the period between 2000-2022, corresponding to the last 22 fiscal years in which there has been an increase in the active participation of women in the nuclear sphere, with the aim of contributing to the decisions in the design of policies and their implementation in the nuclear field for the empowerment of Cuban women in this sector, and with special contribution to the future actions of the Network of Cuban Women in the Nuclear, known as WiN Cuba.

The objective of this article is to analyze the concept of empowerment for women from different perspectives, in relation to their participation in productive enterprises of the popular and solidarity economy in Ecuador. The research was carried out through a documentary analysis of the emergence of the concept of empowerment that has evolved over time according to the different contexts and historical moments, as well as the presentation of the figures of the SEPS Data that indicates the governance of women in this economy. The recognition of the popular and solidarity economy in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador in 2008, as an integral part of the Ecuadorian economic system, has allowed its institutionalization through different institutions and legal instruments, as well as public policies that promote this model of economy, known as the economy of the human face or solidarity, due to its identifying principles that characterize it. One of these principles is gender equity and women actively participate in the different business models, allowing them to enjoy opportunities, become leaders, entrepreneurs. Finally, with sufficient theoretical arguments, the analysis of these concepts contributes to studying how the popular and solidarity economy allows women in an excluding labor market to vindicate themselves, by building alternative projects that improve their quality of life.

In this paper, we explore the impact of LGTBIQ+ teachers' life stories on the perceptions of students taking the Master's Degree in Secondary Education at Jaume I University, Castellón with regard to two key issues: 1) gender diversity and 2) the barriers and empowerment processes encountered by dissident teachers in education contexts. A descriptive study is conducted using a survey design that collects qualitative information from a total of 55 master's degree students. A mixed analysis using the MAXQDA 2020 instrument is chosen. The results show that students highly appreciate the life stories of LGTBIQ+ teachers, thus highlighting the value of such testimonies, the visibility of the LGTBIQ+ community and the implications that these sessions have for their imaginary, commitment, awareness, interest and, in some cases, change of beliefs. Certain barriers (conflicts between generic family structures and sexual diversity and identity processes) and empowerment processes (acceptance, respect, education's response to diversity and visibilization) are also pointed out. The life stories of LGTBIQ+ teachers are viewed as highly valuable tools in the initial stages of teacher training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Decision-making has been considered an important factor in the empowerment of women and the reduction of violence against them. This article constitutes a systematic review between the years 2010 and 2021 of decision-making in women abused by their partners. Five databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Dialnet, Redalyc and Scielo. Finally, a choice of 21 articles was made that met the selection criteria and among the results, the favorable relationship between decisionmaking and the reduction of intimate partner violence was found; however, in certain places this may constitute a risk factor as women are attentive to their rights. Lastly it is important to consider the cognitive processes that are involved in decisions making and their implications for women who are victims of violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
