Gender equality and professional empowerment initiatives

Reflections on gender equality and female leadership emphasize the importance of true sorority. Beyond breaking the 'glass ceiling,' there is a call for women in decision-making roles to avoid reproducing exclusionary practices such as favoritism, classism, and closed circles, ensuring that progress leads to genuine transformation rather than just changing who holds power.

In Bogotá, the 'Un día como...' initiative provided an experiential learning opportunity for young girls. Through a collaboration between the Universidad Santo Tomás and the Bogotá District Secretariat of Security, Coexistence, and Justice, students Mariana González Camacho and Emely Castillo Rivera explored various professional fields. The program aims to connect young women with female role models to demonstrate diverse career paths and encourage professional aspirations.
