Socio-cultural role of the Nicaraguan Ulwa woman

Abstract

Even when gender equality, social inclusion and respect for human integrity are promoted in the current context, the reality of the Nicaraguan ulwa woman, for the most part, is limited to the patriarchal regime, social marginalization, unemployment, domestic and intra-familiar violence and sexual abuse. There is a need to create programs or formulate projects that empower these women and promote their participation in decision-making. Added to the role of the institutions, are important to vindicate and fully develop ulwa women. This essay, from the methodological point of view, is supported by documentary sources and a semi-structured interview.
