Resumen
La investigación tuvo como propósito analizar las acciones implementadas por la administración pública de Cúcuta entre 2021 y 2025 para reducir la feminización de la pobreza y fortalecer la igualdad de género. El estudio examinó cómo la brecha salarial, la informalidad laboral, la carga del trabajo doméstico no remunerado y la discriminación estructural afectaron de manera desproporcionada a las mujeres. Su alcance incluyó el análisis de políticas públicas, documentos institucionales, programas locales, datos estadísticos y experiencias de emprendimiento femenino desarrolladas en la ciudad. La metodología se basó en un enfoque cualitativo, con revisión documental, análisis hermenéutico y triangulación de fuentes provenientes del DANE, ONU Mujeres, la Alcaldía de Cúcuta y organizaciones sociales.
Los resultados evidenciaron que las mujeres continuaron enfrentando barreras estructurales que limitaron su autonomía económica y su acceso a oportunidades laborales dignas. A pesar de ello, iniciativas como el Convenio 122 de 2023, el programa Mujer Líder de la Transformación Territorial y la Casa Social de la Mujer permitieron avances en formación, acceso a recursos productivos, liderazgo comunitario y fortalecimiento del emprendimiento femenino. Sin embargo, estos programas resultaron insuficientes frente a las desigualdades profundas que persistieron en el territorio.
En conclusión, el emprendimiento femenino se constituye en una estrategia vigente y necesaria para promover autonomía económica, participación social y desarrollo sostenible entre las mujeres de Cúcuta.
The research aimed to analyze the actions implemented by the public administration of Cucuta between 2021 and 2025 to reduce the feminization of poverty and strengthen gender equality. The study examined how wage gaps, labor informality, unpaid care work, and structural discrimination disproportionately affected women. Its scope included the review of public policies, institutional documents, local programs, statistical data, and female entrepreneurship initiatives carried out in the city. The methodology followed a qualitative approach using documentary review, hermeneutic analysis, and triangulation of sources from DANE, UN Women, the Cucuta Mayor’s Office, and social organizations. The findings showed that women continued to face structural barriers that limited their economic autonomy and access to decent employment. Nevertheless, initiatives such as the 2023 Agreement 122, the Women Leaders of Territorial Transformation program, and the Social House of Women generated progress in training, access to productive resources, community leadership, and the strengthening of female entrepreneurship. However, these programs were insufficient to address the deep inequalities that persisted across the territory. In conclusion, female entrepreneurship remains an essential and effective strategy to promote economic autonomy, social participation, and sustainable development for women in Cucuta
