The article investigates the evolution of the conditions of empowerment of Colombian rural women. The study makes a comparative follow-up between the genres of education, work and poverty conditions through a study of census microdata and household surveys. There is evidence of a growing improvement in the indicators of empowerment of colombian rural women, however disadvantageous conditions for women and the rural versus urban areas still exist.
