Abstract

This research entitled "Incidence of the Women's Movement of El Oro in the vindication of gender rights in the city of Machala", has its origin in the verification of the existence of a problematic reality of the canton, first the lack of studies about the different feminist movements and the services they provide and therefore the lack of knowledge of the women about the different institutions of comprehensive help for women victims of violence, harassment in different social, labor or educational contexts and also cases of attempted trafficking. The Women's Movement of El Oro has been working for 23 years for the vindication of the rights of the women of the canton and the province, its struggle is reflected in the different achievements it has obtained, as well as in the trust and help it receives from civil institutions and international organizations, however, its low level of visibility among the citizens of El Oro demonstrates a strong weakness in the dissemination of its information. This reality needs to be analyzed in depth through the implementation of a project whose objective emphasizes the determination of the level of incidence that the women's movement of El Oro has in the vindication of gender rights in the city of Machala. The epistemological approach of the project is rational-deductive, because it goes from the general to the specific, that is, it deduces logical conclusions from a series of premises or principles. With an exploratory type of research, in turn allows to be in contact with the object to intervene, documentary because it is based on the collection of information from indexed journals as reliable sources that guarantees the relevant information included in the work strengthening the theoretical arguments, which give way to the interpretation, perception, analysis and understanding of the object of study, based on the bibliographic method, taken the direct observation of documents, the interview applied to professionals and activists, on the other hand, the application of a questionnaire to women of the citizenship in general.

The established problems are taken into consideration for the construction of the matrix of community requirements which, in the framework of the analysis of priority and operational feasibility, selected the highest priority requirement of the design and implementation of a program to raise awareness and disseminate the services provided by the Women's Movement of El Oro for machaleña women.
