Bus/Financial - International Org/Dev/Coop / Rural entrepeneurship and development
Spanish term or phrase: superación integrada (de jóvenes y mujeres)
Context: a Salvatorian development aid organisation lists the social conditions in which rural entrepreneurship has to develop. Before the people in that region were helped, women and young people were undervalued and felt worthless - it was until they were told otherwise by this organisation that they started to value themselves more and become active in their community (instead of just looking after their husbands/siblings and doing housework).

"De carácter social:

* La falta de oportunidades para lograr la superación integrada de las mujeres y los jóvenes.
* La invisibilización de las mujeres por el machismo en su rol como agentes económicos.
* ..."

I know that superación ist to overcome something and integrada is integrated, here probably meant involving all women and young people. But I'm not sure what they mean with superación integrada and how to translate it. For my first attempt, I'm taking the meaning from context and have a draft translation:

"Lack of opportunities to overcome inferiority of women and young people."

Any comments, help, suggestions?

superación integrada
integrated social development


Explanation:

This term is broadly used in the field (browse the millions of hits from the link below) and I feel it would work here, especially considering it is referring to the inclusion of women and youth. Including the word "social" in the English renders a very clear message, which I feel is needed here.

Hope this helps.

Sorry meant to say, I think that "achieving integrated social development" covers the "superación" element of the source text.

Example sentence(s):
  • La falta de oportunidades para lograr la superación integrada de las mujeres y los jóvenes.
  • The lack of opportunities for women and youth to achieve integrated social development.

Asker: Dear James, thank you for your answer - the choice was between yours and "empowerment and involvement". My final translation is somewhat a combination of both.
