| Summary: | In Latin America, political parties are a fundamental barrier to achieving more equal representation. This paper focuses on Ecuador, which has become a regional pioneer in the legal aspects of political equality, but whose parties nevertheless show notable resistance to implementing these regulations. The main objective is to identify the extent to which Ecuador's political parties and movements promote or impede women's participation and political representation. To this end, the work takes an empirical–descriptive approach that seeks to construct an index for comparing the modalities and strategies political parties implement to promote equality between men and women.
