Renewable Energy and Reduction of Breaches Starting from Gender Indicators in Rural Areas

Abstract

Gender and energy not only have a practical theoretical contribution, but also in the way of transforming the reality in the rural area in relation to the active participation of women in community life and opportunities for personal growth. Very few women are involved in energy issues and energy planning; and even fewer women are trained in the gender approach, so it is not common to talk about the needs of women. Incorporating gender analysis during the design, implementation and monitoring of an energy initiative or project results in improving efficiency and increasing the benefits of these initiatives.
his article aims to understand the way in which social inequalities affect the use, management and access of energy and their contributions to the efficiency of projects and their measurement through gender indicators. These issues are appropriate for the rural environment and especially for women who use, conserve, know and share the benefits offered by different energy resources. It can be inferred that rural areas the sources of energy for the home are the responsibility of women, access to new and more modern sources of energy, such as clean fuels and electricity, affect both sexes, although in a differentiated way and through of energy projects we can reduce inequalities that hinder the full development of women, using indicators to measure inequality.
