Resumen
Este estudio analiza el liderazgo femenino en la acción comunal de Villa del Rosario, Norte de Santander, y las barreras socioculturales, económicas y políticas que limitan su empoderamiento. A pesar de avances en equidad de
género, persisten estructuras patriarcales que dificultan su acceso a espacios de decisión. Mediante un enfoque cualitativo con estudios de caso y entrevistas, se identifican factores que influyen en su participación y estrategias para superar obstáculos. Se evidencia que el liderazgo femenino es clave para el desarrollo local, pues fortalece el tejido social y la resolución de problemáticas comunitarias. Las principales barreras incluyen estereotipos de género, falta de credibilidad, resistencia comunitaria, escasez de apoyo institucional y limitaciones económicas. Además, la doble carga laboral representa un reto significativo. Factores como redes de apoyo, formación en liderazgo y sororidad han impulsado su empoderamiento. Las estrategias para promover su participación incluyen capacitación, grupos de apoyo y visibilización de logros. Teóricamente, se fundamenta en el enfoque de capacidades de Nussbaum y el liderazgo transformador de Parella, que enfatizan la equidad en la política local. El estudio destaca la importancia de políticas públicas que faciliten el acceso a recursos y reduzcan la carga doméstica. Concluye que el liderazgo femenino fortalece la cohesión social y el progreso comunitario, recomendando capacitación, redes de apoyo y corresponsabilidad en el hogar. Se resalta que la equidad de género en la acción comunal beneficia a toda la comunidad,
promoviendo un desarrollo inclusivo y sostenible.
This study analyzes women's leadership in community action in Villa del Rosario, Norte de Santander, and the sociocultural, economic and political barriers that limit their empowerment.
