La Better quality of life does not imply the emancipation of women in Cali

Abstract

The emancipation of the Cali woman is, even today, a constant struggle to overcome her dependent condition on her parents in the family, on her husband at home, on her employers at work, and on social gender discrimination.

Some public and private policies have contributed to improving their quality of life in Cali and Colombia; but this has not been enough to heal the social cracks of discrimination, especially those of working-class extraction, and therefore, more forceful political actions are required on the part of proletarian women to achieve true gender and class emancipation. that goes beyond the achievement of minimal and immediate demands, but not sufficient for human fulfillment free of all ties to the oppressive patriarchal past.

The liberation of proletarian women in Cali is limited to long struggles that they must wage from their associations, guilds and political groups, whether partisan or not, to go beyond the immediate comforts and satisfactions that, unequally, the bourgeois city in which they develope. It is with organization and political awareness that the Cali proletarian woman can effectively break out to conquer her rights
