Historias de vida como herramienta de visibilización del liderazgo de mujeres jóvenes en Cúcuta-Norte de Santander.

Abstract

The following research project delves into the visible leadership generated by young women in the city of Cúcuta, Norte de Santander, understanding the border landscape and the notable gender inequality gap that remains latent, mainly focused on the few spaces of participation in female leadership processes. For this reason, the initiative to prepare a study arises that seeks to identify, through a mapping in the city, the multiple female leaders that exist and thus allow the recognition of their role as leaders, through their citizen participation. The methodology applied is PII type (Participatory Impact Investing) with a descriptive/exploratory scope, which will allow the construction of life stories that will be carried out through interviews. Likewise, based on the systematization of the information, it was identified that the majority of the population surveyed expressed feeling of violation of their human rights and little recognition of their actions in the city. However, despite the challenges, they continue to encourage their leadership and bases of gender struggles forming meeting places to transform territory, finally, these spaces have managed to open spaces of visibility and resignification of their processes as young leaders of the city of Cúcuta.
