Videoreportaje sobre los estereotipos respecto a la maternidad y el trabajo: estudio de caso colectivo “Mamá Universitaria”

Abstract

The present titling work seeks to reflect the life stories of women mothers in the Ecuadorian context. Women who are part of the group called Radio Revista “Mamá Universitaria”; as a means to know, disseminate and demand the fulfillment of their rights through communication, organization and mobilization, since they are subjects prone to suffer inequality and discrimination based on gender and their status as mothers with a stereotyped model where they must be economic sustenance, but also emotional. Contrasting their different experiences and routines of daily life to find common factors that cross them and how each one has managed to break those schemes that limit them, allowing them to show the reality of motherhood and work, in addition to the recognition of domestic work and care. As an unpaid productive activity that supports family and work development models. Demystifying the model of should-be of women, mothers and their families through a video report. Showing that the mission of fully raising a new being requires a lot of effort and courage, both physical and emotional and economic, that not all women are able to meet, due to global conditions such as poor distribution of wealth, exacerbated by social problems and even public health. Structural conditions against which women fight, for themselves and their sons and daughters.
