Concept of empowerment in a Mexican university woman

This research exposes the misrepresentation of the concept of empowerment through violent discourses. There is a large number of gender studies that present an analysis of violence against women; however, very little research emphasises the active role of women in violence as perpetrators. We worked on a single case study with a qualitative approach, with a 27-year-old woman, economically independent and with a high hierarchical position in a well-known company in the city of Durango, Mexico, using a semi-structured interview technique. The results of the interviews exposed the false empowerment of the participant, as well as the sexist discourse towards men, which leads to the exercise of psychological violence, and the costs and requirements that a woman needs to ascend to a position of power; however, the unexpected result was the sorority that the participant manages in a specific sector of women.
