Throughout history, women have waged tireless battles for their rights and challenged socially entrenched gender roles. Today, it is possible to identify pending tasks of relevance in Latin America, with a special emphasis on the tri-border region of Arica, Chile, where there are few studies that allow for the generation of regional development policies for women. This quantitative-descriptive characterization research is developed through a survey applied in person and recorded digitally to 401 women in Arica, where 98% of the regional population is located. The results highlight the situation of women in the social sphere, their economic condition and interests, which allow for the identification of patterns and trends that affect their development and well-being.
