Análisis de la pobreza multidimensional con enfoque de género en recicladores de base del cantón Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2020-09-16) Abril Ortiz, Adriana Lorena; Bueno Loja, Blanca Yolanda
Current consumption and production patterns are unsustainable, and waste pickers in Latin America are key stakeholders, since they favor increasing recycling rates in a region with precarious waste management systems. Therefore, this research analyzes poverty of time and power in waste pickers based on the theory of multidimensional poverty. Recycling at the foot of the sidewalk is part of the informal sector and is carried out mainly (80%) by women in Cuenca canton. This feminized activity is traversed by structural violence, in terms of poverty and patriarchy. A qualitative study of poverty was carried out, based on semi-structured interviews with nine organized and independent women waste pickers during the first half of 2020. The results show the perceptions and feelings of women regarding the use of time and violence. The space in which recycling is carried out, whether on the streets, is violent, due to the struggle of sectors to guarantee access to the material, and at home, in which the material is classified, due to direct violence of which they are victims, their main aggressors are their partners. The poverty of time that arises from the sexual division of labor is reflected in their exclusion from the formal labor market, compared to recycling as an opportunity to care and produce. Any local policy must consider that informal recycling in the canton is a feminized activity and strategies require understanding poverty from a gender perspective.

(2017) Molina Maldonado, Jeny Magaly; Bueno Loja, Blanca Yolanda
Now, in our country there are Social Rehabilitation Centers (SRC) that have as a goal the social rehabilitation of those who have been sentenced for some crime. There is a legal framework that protects people who are deprived from freedom (PPL) through which the State guarantees the rights of this priority attention group that remains incarcerated in the SRC and promotes its participation in the following determinant axes for its rehabilitation: education, culture and sport, labor and health; which at the same time are fields where the Social Work as profession directly intercedes to improve the PPL’s life quality. The Penitentiary Management also indicates the functions and goals of the social worker. Through information provided by the social workers of the SRC, families of the PPL and the PPL themselves, it was proved that the Social Work in the SRC doesn’t perform pertinent functions or works under humanistic approaches but performs activities that have nothing to do with Social Work. This reality shows that this profession does not contribute to the social rehabilitation of the PPL and hence doesn’t accomplish the main goal: the social reinsertion of the person, and this is why the PPL that get back their freedom commit some kind of crime again and go back to the SCR.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-18) Guanuchi Morocho, Ruth Doménica; Bueno Loja, Blanca Yolanda
The research examined the experiences of irregular migration of men and women from the La Paz Community in their journey to the United States. Through the life stories technique, the study aimed to capture the complexity of this process from a gender perspective. The emphasis on personal stories enriched the understanding of motivations for migrating and initial expectations. Additionally, it provided a detailed view of the journey, identifying the risks faced and the strategies used to confront them. It was expected that this technique would reveal how travel conditions and encounters with authorities and intermediaries could vary by gender. The research also analyzed how experiences of irregular migration impacted the personal and family lives of the migrants. Furthermore, it explored the perception of changes in the home community and integration in the new destination country. A particular focus on gender differences allowed for understanding variations in the experiences and challenges faced by men and women during irregular migration. This could shed light on the specific vulnerability of women to exploitation and gender-based violence, as well as the social pressures that men could feel as providers. This study contributed to a deeper understanding of how gender influences experiences of irregular migration and how these experiences, in turn, can have diverse effects on home communities and destinations.

For this purpose, a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental methodology was used, where a battery of tests and a structured survey were applied to obtain the results. The results obtained were that most of the users participating in the study are women who are engaged in the activity of begging together with their children. In the first instance, it was observed that the relationships within the conjugal system are deficient and distant, the connection between the father and the children is scarce and there is a lack of communication; the families were mainly in the category of risk and dysfunctional, according to the scale of each test.
