El trabajo analiza el proceso de empoderamiento de jóvenes mujeres dominicanas con alto capital humano emigradas a España. La hipótesis principal en la que se fundamenta el trabajo es que la variable migratoria puede ser considerada como clave del proceso de empoderamiento y, a la vez, como elemento de ruptura con la cultura “machista”. A partir de la teoría de Rowlands (1997) han sido analizados los elementos que permiten los cambios hacia el empoderamiento. Según el autor, el proceso se desarrolla a través de tres dimensiones: individual, colectiva y de las relaciones cercanas. Para cada una hay elementos positivos y negativos que afectan el proceso.
El trabajo se desarrolló mediante entrevistas con 18 jóvenes dominicanas que viven en España. Las informaciones se obtuvieron a través del uso de la entrevista semiestructurada y de un cuestionario sociodemográfico.
Los resultados muestran que nos enfrentamos con una ola migratoria que es diferente a la anterior: una mezcla entre jóvenes con capital humano alto, otras en condiciones económicamente desfavorables y madres solteras con hijos. Sí, es verdad que hay diferencias internas entre las mujeres, pero es cierto que a través de la migración estas consiguen crear proyectos de vida, empoderarse y romper con los esquemas tradicionales.
The work analyses the process of empowerment of young Dominican women with high human capital emigrated to Spain. The main hypothesis is that the migratory variable is on one side the key of the empowerment, and on the other, the element of rupture with the “macho” culture. Starting from Rowlands’s theory (1997), the elements that allow the changes towards the empowerment have been analysed. According to the author, the process is developed through three dimensions: individual, collective and close relationships. For each one there are positive and negative elements that can affect the process. The work was developed through interviews with 18 young Dominican women living in Spain and the information obtained with the semi-structured interview and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results show that we are faced with a migratory wave that is different from the others: a mix between young people with high human capital, others in economically unfavourable conditions and other single women with children. It is true that there are internal differences between women, but we can see that they manage to create life projects, empower themselves and break with the traditional schemes.
