Resumen
El artículo se propuso como objetivo valorar si en el contexto colombiano se está promocionando la paridad de género a través de la participación de la mujer en asuntos político. En este sentido se planteó una metodología cualitativa con enfoque documental, la cual una vez realizada la respectiva revisión se pudo verificar que desde el punto de vista de las normas que promueven la paridad de género, la Constitución de 1991, que establece que Colombia es un Estado Social de Derecho, establece los fundamentos que buscan dicha paridad. Igualmente, se han promulgado leyes en procura de reglamentar la equidad de género, dando como resultado la denominada Ley de Cuotas, cuyo principal objetivo es definir que, en la conformación de las listas de candidaturas, al menos el 30% debe pertenecer a uno de los sexos. Igualmente, se han ratificado distintos convenios internacionales que hacen referencia a esta temática. La efectividad de la Ley de Cuotas se ha visto reflejada en los resultados de las elecciones legislativas del 2014, donde el aumento porcentual de las mujeres electas a Senado y Cámara aumento considerablemente, a tal punto que en los comicios del 2018 se llegó a un 23,4% en el senado y un 18,1% en la Cámara. Por último, en las recientes elecciones para el periodo 2022-2026 el nivel de mujeres electas entre las dos corporaciones es del 28,4%.
The objective of this article was to assess whether gender parity is being promoted in the Colombian context through women's participation in political affairs. In this sense, a qualitative methodology with a documentary approach was used. Once the respective review was carried out, it was possible to verify that from the point of view of the norms that promote gender parity, the 1991 Constitution, which establishes that Colombia is a Social State of Law, establishes the foundations that seek such parity. Likewise, laws have been enacted in an attempt to regulate gender equity, resulting in the so-called Quota Law, whose main objective is to define that, in the composition of the lists of candidates, at least 30% must belong to one of the sexes. Various international conventions have also been ratified that refer to this issue. The effectiveness of the Quota Law has been reflected in the results of the 2014 legislative elections, where the percentage increase of women elected to the Senate and House increased considerably, to such an extent that in the 2018 elections, 23.4% in the Senate and 18.1% in the House. Finally, in the recent elections for the period 2022-2026 the level of women elected between the two corporations is 28.4%.
