Emotional intelligence: a route to gender equality
Keywords:
Emotional intelligence, Emotional capacities, Gender inequalityAbstract
Emotional intelligence is the set of social and emotional capacities that allow us to face life successfully. However, for many years society has fostered these capabilities dissimilarly in women and men, contributing to inequality of opportunities in different areas. In times of struggle for fair rights, it is necessary to create conditions to have access to the same opportunities. For this reason, the objective of this article is to clarify the concept of emotional intelligence to understand its importance, reflect on the differences between women and men, and, finally, seek to change ideas, speech or actions, which will allow a social transformation aimed at reducing gender inequality.
