Despite the fact that their number is shorter if compared to men, they can be found working a functionadmistratives, in directive and decisive positions, as well as power and political positions. This transition from private to public was held without leaving the responsibility of careers that women have, and even more, without distributing this work between their family members. This research tries to analyze this double role, labor and familiar, carried out by the female workers at the City Government of Cuenca, the strategies they use in order to deal with their work as well as private obligations, visualize the effects that the excess of roles have on their lives, such as: decrease of their free and leisure time, personal and professional development limitations, as well as the negative impact on their physical and emotional health. Finally, considering that in our 2008 Constitution, all kinds of labor are recognized, such as general care, as well as the obligation of creating politics to finally reach equality of me and women. This research is seeking answers from GAD as co-responsible of such a care.
