Resumen
El movimiento cooperativo femenino surge como una alternativa de diversos grupos de mujeres que buscan organizarse para solventar problemas económicos generados por la falta de empleo. De esta manera, buscan auto realizarse y explorar nuevas destrezas y habilidades como por ejemplo la experiencia y capacidad en la gestión microempresarial. La presente investigación se realizó con el objetivo de destacar el esfuerzo de muchas de estas mujeres, que a pesar de las circunstancias y bstáculos de la vida, han logrado salir adelante en sus hogares y en sus trabajos. Asimismo, se da un énfasis especial en las distintas formas de participación que desarrollan este grupo de mujeres en el ámbito cooperativo. La participación de las mujeres aparece, a primera vista, al margen de las organizaciones. En cambio, participa activamente en todas aquellas entidades o acciones que tengan que ver con el bienestar general, festividades y actividades religiosas, educativas, con acciones de servicio a la comunidad, intercambio de trabajo y trueque en mercancías (CEPAL: 12:44-47). Los obstáculos que impiden la integración plena de la mujer provienen de la socialización tradicional, esto es, la forma en que acceden a la educación, la participación social y al mercado laboral. Para lograr cambios más profundos se debería por lo menos, socializar a las mujeres con la idea de que no hay una contradicción, tanto en su papel en el hogar como en el laboral, así como fomentar el desarrollo de su identidad femenina. Pese a lo limitado de la información existente, es indudable que, las mujeres siempre han participado en organizaciones sociales, muchas veces como parte de estrategias de supervivencia de sus grupos y en otras formas que pueden aparecer, como la extensión de sus roles tradicionales. Sin embargo, la participación genérica de las mujeres en organizaciones parece depender de los valores culturales que definen su rol y del aprendizaje participativo. El aprendizaje normal de la participación es escaso a través de su vida, por lo que su inserción en las organizaciones ha generado nuevas percepciones en sus propias potencialidades, lo que parece tener mucho peso en la acción futura de muchas mujeres.
The women's cooperative movement emerged as an alternative for various groups of women who seek to organize themselves to solve economic problems caused by the lack of employment. In this way, they seek self-realization and explore new skills and abilities such as experience and capacity in micro-enterprise management. This research was conducted with the objective of highlighting the efforts of many of these women, who despite the circumstances and obstacles of life, have managed to get ahead in their homes and at work. Likewise, special emphasis is placed on the different forms of participation that this group of women develop in the cooperative field. The participation of women appears, at first glance, to be outside of organizations. Instead, they actively participate in all those entities or actions that have to do with general well-being, religious and educational festivities and activities, with community service actions, work exchange and bartering of goods (CEPAL: 12:44-47). The obstacles that prevent the full integration of women come from traditional socialization, that is, the way in which they access education, social participation and the labor market. To achieve deeper changes, women should at least be socialized with the idea that there is no contradiction in their role at home or at work, as well as promoting the development of their feminine identity. Despite the limited information available, it is unquestionable that women have always participated in social organizations, often as part of their groups' survival strategies and in other ways that may appear, such as the extension of their traditional roles. However, the generic participation of women in organizations seems to depend on the cultural values that define their role and on participatory learning. Normal learning about participation is scarce throughout their lives, so their insertion in organizations has generated new perceptions of their own potential, which seems to have a lot of weight in the future actions of many women.
