El balance general es mixto, pues a pesar de que se llevaron a cabo las votaciones de manera relativamente exitosa, se presentaron varias irregularidades en algunas regiones del pa\u00eds que incluyen hechos de violencia y corrupci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n<p>En el caso de las mujeres, el balance, m\u00e1s que mixto, es negativo. A pesar de ser un poco m\u00e1s de la mitad de la poblaci\u00f3n, y representar una proporci\u00f3n similar entre las personas que votan, el porcentaje de mujeres elegidas sigue siendo muy bajo. Por ejemplo, fueron elegidas 2 gobernadoras para un total de 32 gobernaciones, y 4 alcaldesas para las alcald\u00edas de las capitales de departamento. Esto representa el 6.25% de mujeres en las gobernaciones y el 12.5% en las alcald\u00edas de ciudades capitales. <\/p>\n<p>Aunque estos porcentajes constituyen un aumento con respecto a las \u00faltimas elecciones, en las que solamente se alcanz\u00f3 el 3.12% en las gobernaciones, son todav\u00eda muy bajos y no superan el porcentaje m\u00e1ximo alcanzado por las mujeres desde que se establecieron las elecciones populares para estos cargos. Esto significa que las mujeres seguimos estando sub representadas en los m\u00e1s altos cargos de elecci\u00f3n popular y que persiste la debilidad de nuestra democracia, pues sigue siendo incapaz de representar e incluir realmente a toda la poblaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n<p>Estos bajos porcentajes no tienen una explicaci\u00f3n sencilla. El asunto no es que las mujeres no est\u00e9n capacitadas para participar, o no quieran hacerlo, pues, como lo muestran las estad\u00edsticas del DANE, tienden a tener m\u00e1s a\u00f1os de educaci\u00f3n que los hombres, y han empezado a desempe\u00f1ar liderazgos activos en lo local. <\/p>\n<p>El asunto es que persisten m\u00faltiples factores estructurales que evitan que se generen las condiciones para que las mujeres sean elegidas. Entre ellos se destacan la cultura masculina de los partidos pol\u00edticos y la forma tradicional como se hace pol\u00edtica en el pa\u00eds. Adem\u00e1s, las mujeres siguen siendo las principales responsables del cuidado del hogar, lo cual limita sus posibilidades de participar. <\/p>\n<p>Enfrentar estos factores no es un asunto de mujeres, sino un reto para la sociedad. Aunque se han dado algunos avances para promover la participaci\u00f3n de las mujeres, como la aprobaci\u00f3n de la Reforma Pol\u00edtica de 2011, que ordena a los partidos tener al menos un 30% de mujeres en las listas para corporaciones p\u00fablicas, se requieren de m\u00e1s esfuerzos para lograr la inclusi\u00f3n de las mujeres. Y en esto, los partidos pol\u00edticos deber\u00edan jugar un papel clave, pues tienen las posibilidades de promover los liderazgos femeninos. <\/p>\n<p>Mientras las mujeres sigan sin estar representadas, la nuestra no ser\u00e1 una democracia aut\u00e9nticamente incluyente y representativa. Por eso, los obst\u00e1culos que enfrentan las mujeres para ser elegidas y participar en pol\u00edtica no son un problema de la mitad de la poblaci\u00f3n, sino de toda la naci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The poor results of women in the recent elections are not simply a problem of them, but a matter of democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","subcategory-gender-discrimination","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
