Gender programs in rural Mexico are still in their initial stages. The Woman's Program in the Agrarian Sector aims to generate employment and improve living conditions for women in Rural Mexico. This article looks at the expectation and results of PROMUSAG program in The State ofTabasco between theyears of2004 and 2006. A representative survey was carried out to evaluate the benefits of this program in the state It was found that the support given by this program was seen by the women as no more than a type ofhousehold saving rather than a significant change in family circumstances. Saying this, the women mentioned that they were satisfied with the program and the results. The study found that many women, due to a lack of time, often stopped operating the projects. Finally, there is a small margin for positive results.
