Abstract

This article addresses the issue of gender equity from a view of respect for the human rights of people belonging to the intercultural educational community in superior education.

Bibliographic reviews from different written studies on the subject were used as a reference in this material, and it takes the coloniality of power from the intersection of race and gender of Maria Lugones to explain why there have been different forms of exclusion, discrimination, and inequity towards indigenous and Afro-descendant women historically.

Quantitate data shows the gap between access, permanence, and conclusion of indigenous and Afro-descendant people in superior education programs. In the same way, there are explanations regarding the disadvantages in terms of relevance, pedagogical strategies, and the use of Tics in different educational spaces in their places of origin as well. One must have a critical look at inequalities in superior education spaces and thus require the creation of educational policies that ensure professionalization as a priority.
