Abstract

We explored the process through which two income-generation programs that include health education empower indigenous Guatemalan women artisans. Both artisans (n = 44) and program staff (n = 11) participated in semistructured interviews. Respondents expressed that women gained support about personal issues and experienced an awakening of the mind (despertar la mente). Through active participation, women's fear of strangers and speaking in public decreased. Women also gained mobility, awareness of their rights as women, and self-confidence from earning and managing their own income. Given our findings, we suggest that programs combining income generation and health education have the potential to empower women.

摘要

我们探究了两个包含健康教育的创收项目赋予危地马拉本土女性工匠权力的过程。工匠（n = 44）和项目工作人员（n = 11）都参与了半结构化访谈。受访者表示，女性在个人问题上获得了支持，并经历了思想的觉醒（despertar la mente）。通过积极参与，女性对陌生人的恐惧以及在公共场合发言的恐惧有所减少。女性还获得了行动能力、对自身女性权利的认识，以及通过赚取和管理自己的收入获得了自信。基于我们的研究结果，我们建议将创收与健康教育相结合的项目有赋予女性权力的潜力。
