The purpose of this article is to include in the academic and public discussion the participation of women in the representative democracy of the autonomous decentralized rural parochial governments (GADPR) in Ecuador in the periods 2009, 2014, 2019 and 2023 corresponding to the sectional elections since the validity of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador (2008). To do this, a situation analysis is carried out that includes a chronology of milestones in the announced temporality, where the binding legislation and electoral events are noted to determine the materiality of the application of the formal norm. In addition, a quantitative presentation of the number of female presidents by province and at the national level is included, after an exhaustive documentary review. Among the main findings, it is identified that for the 2023 sectional elections, there is a growing trend compared to 2009.
However, the national average shows that for the current period (2023 - 2027) only 22% of a total of 825 GADPR are led by women.
