Diagnóstico de Género en la Amazonía

The region is comprised of five departments: Amazonas, Loreto, Madre de Dios, San Martín, and Ucayali. These departments are among the top six in the country with the highest numbers of undocumented women, and they also have the highest rates of adult illiteracy, which disproportionately affects women. Despite achieving parity in primary education, the departments in the Amazonía region still have significant gaps in secondary education access. Additionally, the region has the highest rates of adolescent pregnancy in the country, with even higher rates among indigenous Amazonian populations. The Consejo Interregional Amazónico (CIAM) and the Ministerio de la Mujer y Poblaciones Vulnerables (MIMP) have collaborated to develop a diagnostic study on gender disparities in the Amazonía region. This study aims to identify the gender gaps in the departments of San Martín, Amazonas, Loreto, Madre de Dios, and Ucayali. The study's findings will serve as evidence for formulating recommendations to improve the decentralized public management of services for gender equality. The study's methodology involved gathering data and conducting interviews with various stakeholders, including government officials, civil society organizations, and community leaders. The data collected focused on key areas such as education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. The study's findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address the gender disparities in the Amazonía region.
