Gender strategy in the Cuban sugar agroindustrial sector: necessary component for female development in communities and bateyes

Abstract

Gender inequality, despite the policies approved in recent years at the international and national level, and being an aspect addressed in numerous scenarios, continues to be a developing issue due to its manifestation in various areas of society and specifically in the Laboral life. For this reason, it is necessary to promote work with an inclusive approach, transversal to all actions carried out in the business environment. The gender approach considers different opportunities for men and women, as well as the interrelationships between them and the different roles that are socially assigned and determined within organizations, for which its analysis is essential in accordance with the demands of each Historic moment; aspects that the Azucarero Azcuba Group takes into account to strengthen its actions in this regard. This work highlights the study carried out in the sugar agroindustrial sector that made possible the design of the Gender Strategy as an alternative to minimize the limitations in work and family life that prevent gender equality and female empowerment for social development, and its incidence in rural communities and sugar plantations.
