Gender Equity

Promotion of gender equality
Promotion of gender equality

The gender cause consists of promoting equality between men and women, through the empowerment of women, the transformation of patriarchal culture, education and the modification of roles associated with gender, so that all people recognize the wealth of each gender and are respectful of their diversity.

At Alboan we advocate for a fair development model, where equality between men and women is essential. We break limiting gender roles and combat discrimination based on gender. Our approach seeks socioeconomic justice, the right to education, citizen participation and gender equity as a transversal basis to address all causes.

Equality between women and men is a matter of human rights, a condition for social justice and also a necessary and fundamental requirement to achieve equality, development and peace.

Promotion of gender equality

Strategic challenges

Make visible the problem of gender inequality

Despite the social indicators that demonstrate gender inequality, large sectors of society do not perceive it.

Empower women, young people, adolescents and girls

The empowerment of women continues to be a need, a right and a necessary strategy.

Incorporate men in their responsibility for equality

The incorporation of men in egalitarian processes accelerates changes and equitable relationships.

Question the centrality of the masculine

Value aspects considered "feminine", such as caring for life, as fundamental to promoting cultural changes.

Generate own speech

By developing our own discourse, we can incorporate new allies and overcome mistrust.

Live with coherence

Pay attention to inertia and evaluate the coherence of our institutional policies, discourses and sensitivities.
