Abstract
The main objective was to analyze gender equality in the context of its social, legal and parliamentary role in Ecuador. The methodology was systematically based on the mixed model of concurrent transformative design. Documentary and statistical data were collected from major sources. The information was analyzed using the triangulation method. The results were three categories. The constitutional regulation of gender equality. The legal regulation of gender equality in the parliamentary sphere. Statistical data on gender equality in the legal parliamentary sphere. In conclusion, it has been established that a more educated society is more inclusive and that eradicates female discrimination.
Highlights
Since 1975, world conferences on women have been held within the United Nations, since four conferences have been held, these being the following: the Mexico City conference in 1975, the Copenhagen Conference in 1980, that of Nairobi in 1985 and that of Beijing in 1999
For those who subscribe to this study in the legal sphere, women have had their rights recognized throughout the ages, as well as constitutional guarantees, which are often not recognized in the countries
It should be noted that, despite the parity rules that promote women’s candidacies, the current data only reaches a proportion of 4 prefectures and 18 mayoralties at the national level (Ecuador), which translates into a minimum increase of only 2 points over the data from the elections that take place in Ecuador every four years for the parliament. This means that legislative measures have not succeeded in achieving gender parity in Ecuador and have been subordinate only to the number of candidates in the country, since women’s elections continue to have low margins in relation to men’s, as indicated in the reports we have studied, owing to culturally widespread social factors that prevent women from being elected to these parliamentary posts and, in turn, since they are not elected, their active participation in the spheres of power is compromised, which prevents the achievement of gender equality in Ecuador in parliamentary matters
Summary
Since 1975, world conferences on women have been held within the United Nations, since four conferences have been held, these being the following: the Mexico City conference in 1975, the Copenhagen Conference in 1980, that of Nairobi in 1985 and that of Beijing in 1999. In this way, it was sought to fight for peace, security at a global, regional and local level, seeking the prevention and protection of women and girls through the incorporation of policies that would promote adequate mechanisms for the solutions of the problems that in the matter gender arose. For those who subscribe to this study in the legal sphere, women have had their rights recognized throughout the ages, as well as constitutional guarantees, which are often not recognized in the countries
