Liderazgo femenino en situaciones de emergencia. Pandemia Covid 19 en Perú

Abstract

The theme of female leadership is increasingly present in reflections and studies on gender. Currently, there is strong evidence of the vast potential of women to participate and make a significant contribution to conflict resolution and group management due to the humanistic leadership that characterizes women. The patriarchal system and machismo make up a combined threat, but women’s resilience has been demonstrated and consolidated. It is mainly in emergency and conflict situations that their leadership and resilience are demonstrated with a level of organization and solidarity typical of women in situations of limited vision and awareness of reality, among other problems, but it has also highlighted women’s solidarity and prompt response. From my experience as a resilience researcher, witness of women as educators, promoters, mothers in soup kitchens, Vaso de Leche, PRONOEIs and many social programs organized as community responses, this study explains the Peruvian soup kitchen experience, which has spread to other locations in Latin America.
