The objective of the research was to determine the effect of the Secretariat of Social Development- Agricultural Worker's Program, in gender's position and condition of women agricultural laborer families in the Sierra Negra of Puebla. The investigation was descriptive and used a non-probabilistic stratified design. The research techniques included surveys, in-depth interviews, and a study of both weights and measures, and time and movements. The results show that health variable (25% of the variables related to women's condition) and resources control, decision making, and family violence variables (75% related to women's position), positively influenced gender equity.
