Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This paper delves into the comprehensive issue of gender inequality in Guatemala, examining both the governmental approach and its outcomes. The primary objective is to explore historical aspects that elucidate gender disparities within the country and highlight the influence of female leadership in Guatemala's domestic sphere. To provide current insights, the paper includes data from a survey conducted at a missionary school in Chisec, Guatemala, capturing children's perspectives on gender roles and future aspirations. By comparing Guatemala's situation with policies and practices implemented in Nicaragua and Cuba, the paper suggests strategies for promoting female leadership and achieving higher levels of gender equality in Guatemala. Through this comparative analysis, the paper aims to offer actionable recommendations for addressing gender inequality and enhancing women's roles in Guatemalan society.
