    Percepción de las mujeres toquilleras del programa Comunidad del Cuidado de la Casa de la Mujer sobre las condiciones laborales en la producción artesanal del tejido de paja toquilla, septiembre 2024 – febrero 2025
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-02-15) Alvarez Guaman, María de los Angeles; Ortiz Vivar, Xiomar del Rocío
    The working conditions of female toquilla weavers encompass a range of environmental, ergonomic, and economic aspects that influence their performance in crafting toquilla straw hats. These aspects include the availability of adequate tools and materials, workplace safety, working hours, wage equity, opportunities for training and development, as well as the specific challenges faced by women in this field, in addition to managing the balance between their work and family responsibilities. The purpose of this research was to understand the perception of female toquilla weavers in the "Community of Care" program at the Casa de la Mujer regarding their working conditions, considering sociodemographic variables. The specific objectives included identifying the sociodemographic conditions, such as age, marital status, and whether they are the main household providers, of the toquilla weavers in the "Community of Care" program at the Casa de la Mujer, and understanding the working conditions perceived by these women. In this context, the research adopted a qualitative approach, with a cross-sectional design and an exploratory scope. The target population consisted of 12 female toquilla weavers aged 18 years and older. The data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews and a sociodemographic form. According to the results, the participants highlighted as main challenges the long working hours, the lack of adequate ergonomic conditions, and the absence of fair compensation in relation to the effort invested in their craft. Additionally, most participants reported balancing their domestic duties with their artisanal work, which generates an additional workload. Despite these conditions, many women expressed pride in their craft and the cultural impact it represents.
