Abstract

This research project is based on the urgent need to make visible and start working on the solution to the inequalities of the female gender in the rural context of the State of Guerrero. Its importance lies in the large number of struggles that rural women face, such as the triple discrimination (due to poverty, gender, and ethnicity) that they experience as women, in limited economic conditions, and the social backwardness of which they are part by being within a rural community. In this sense, as a transversal line, this work seeks to generate relevant information on gender studies in the rural area of Acapulco. The theoretical part of this work is based on three important aspects for the development and understanding of this: the solidarity economy, the feminist or gender economy and the skills approach for human development.
