Abstract

La participación femenina en la política es importante para garantizar que los intereses de las mujeres sean representados a la hora de tomar decisiones. Esta investigación estudia si tener a mujeres como funcionarias públicas reduce la violencia contra la mujer en Colombia. Se provee evidencia de que el liderazgo femenino en el gobierno local reduce las llamadas a un hotline de la Policía que recolecta denuncias de mujeres por violencia intrafamiliar, y este impacto se va amplificando a lo largo de los anos. Además, la representación femenina a nivel municipal puede disminuir la media la tasa anual de estas solicitudes en un 22%. Al considerar mecanismos, las alcaldesas parecen ser más propensas a tomar medidas que den oportunidades a la población femenina en el campo laboral y educativo, disminuyendo de manera indirecta la incidencia de violencia contra la mujer en el hogar y el reporte de las víctimas a la línea de la Policía. El trabajo concluye resaltando la relevancia de incentivar la participación femenina en la política para mejorar las condiciones de vida de las mujeres en Colombia.
