Abstract
This article, presented within the framework of the 68th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68), analyzes the evaluation of a reintegration program for incarcerated women in Chile to identify key factors that contribute to reducing recidivism and promoting social reintegration. Through a gender-responsive lens, the study examines the implementation and challenges of such programs in the Chilean prison context, highlighting how principles of gender-sensitive intervention are applied in practice. The research contributes to the broader academic discourse on women's reintegration and desistance processes in Latin America and beyond. Findings underscore the need for comprehensive, gender-responsive policies and programs that address the structural and social barriers faced by women during incarceration and post-release. The article concludes with policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of gender-responsive interventions, emphasizing their critical role in reducing marginalization and fostering long-term inclusion of women in prison.
