The work raises the question about the employability of women to achieve an output to situations of violence and social exclusion generally do not consider any of the characteristics of rural areas. At least we can talk about three social problems that must be addressed from a gender perspective: rural exodus and consequently, depopulation, masculinization and aging.Law 45 /2007 for the Sustainable Development of Rural tried to recognize the importance of rural development in the country and address the lack of economic opportunities that have favored the depopulation and marginality. However, except in regard to equal treatment between men and women, did not provide specific mechanisms for women.The proposed work is to analyze the socio-economic situation of women in rural municipalities in Spanish now and, from initial diagnosis, try to make proposals for improving employability and economic conditions of women through entrepreneurship in certain activities and sectors.
