The Afro-descendant Decade with a gender perspective

Abstract

The gender approach is considered one of the priority premises of development; it is understood as a right and an economic-political factor that increases productivity by taking advantage of women's skills. Development is explained by poverty reduction, better access to justice and low levels of well-being inequalities. We want to explore how the gender approach is evidenced in the fulfillment of the objectives of the International Decade for Afro-descendants, and contributes to the development of Afro-descendant women. The Decade indicates carrying out actions that lead to the full exercise of rights of people of African descent to guarantee justice, recognition and development; Progress in the implementation of the Decade  regarding the development of Afro-descendant women.
