| Sumario: | In this paper we examine the representation of women in Mexican democracy from the representation, a term that has enabled democratic systems organize power. Representativeness refers to acting on behalf of another of whom expressed their interest, however, criticism of representative democracy allow questioning the representation of the interests of groups that have been excluded from power, as the indigenous people or women. From feminist critiques of democracy, political representation has been a male exercise, which has disrupted the demands of women as they have been established since androcentric stance. This position has been key in determining both the regulations that must be met as how women should participate in society and power. This raises a problem of gender representation. It draws on the participation of women in the 2012 elections in the state of Nayarit within a context of social violence in the state. |
