Conditional cash transfers and gender constructions: A unique dataset on women in Buenaventura, Colombia.

It gives special attention to access to poverty alleviation programs - conditional cash transfers - and forms of agency propelling women towards social change. The data were collected in July 2019 through in-person interviews. The database can greatly contribute toward further comparative research, informing public policy, and more broadly, widening the universe of statistical data on Colombia and other Latin American countries by providing quantitative data on welfare
