Una visión actual a la discriminación y abuso contra los personajes femeninos en la obra Huasipungo de Jorge Icaza

Abstract

Abstract: The topic of this essay is a current view of the discrimination and abuse against female characters in Jorge Icaza's Huasipungo. This novel presents a cruel reality within the indigenous community. In this document, we will see the lack of interest of the State and landowners for the growth of indigenous women; it will also be focused on the lack of rights such as: education and freedom that leads the human being to make their own decisions without being deprived for being a woman. By making known these aspects of discriminatory treatment and a total abuse of power against these women, there were brave women able to demolish these acts of weakness and launch themselves in search of a more humane treatment for the native communities and that the effort does not end up being in vain. That is why the State should be concerned with preparing and updating them to know their rights and providing them with a quality and qualified education so that they can assume different positions in the labor and political fields.
