Resumen
Descripción
Las mujeres ocupan un lugar importante en la sociedad, especialmente como madres de familia y en “labores propias de su género”. La lucha feminista ha impulsado la exigencia de igualdad de género y que los derechos de las mujeres también son derechos humanos.
El gobierno de México se comprometió a impulsar los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio. Así, se han modificado leyes, dictado políticas, creado programas y organismos para lograr la igualdad de género. Asimismo, las universidades públicas han implementado modificaciones para seguimiento y operación de programas y políticas de género.
En este documento se analiza la igualdad de género, y cómo se aborda en las políticas de universidades de Argentina, Chile y España. La investigación es de carácter documental, se desarrolla partiendo de lo general a lo particular.
Las conclusiones obtenidas resultan ser similares. Las brechas de género en la docencia son manifiestas. A pesar de que en los últimos años se ha incrementado la presencia femenina en puestos docentes continúa ocupando niveles bajos, a diferencia de los puestos de mayor nivel en que la mayoría es ocupada por hombres. Finalmente, se presentan propuestas que las universidades públicas podrían adoptar para visibilizar y disminuir las inequidades de género existentes.
Women occupy an important place in society, especially as mothers of families and in "gender-specific work". The feminist struggle has driven the demand for gender equality and that women's rights are also human rights. The Mexican government has committed itself to promoting the Millennium Development Goals. Thus, laws have been modified, policies have been issued, programs and agencies have been created to achieve gender equality. Likewise, public universities have implemented modifications for the monitoring and operation of gender programs and policies. This paper analyzes gender equality and how it is addressed in university policies in Argentina, Chile, and Spain. The research is of a documentary nature, it is developed from the general to the particular. The conclusions obtained are similar. Gender gaps in teaching are evident. Even though in recent years the presence of women in teaching positions has increased, they continue to occupy low levels, in contrast to the higher positions in which the majority are occupied by men. Finally, we present proposals that public universities could adopt to make visible and reduce existing gender inequalities.
