| Abstract | According to the UN report, in Latin America the gender gap persists and poverty has become feminized. There is a bottleneck in the region regarding the progress of women, according to a report by the United Nations: “The progress of women in Latin America and the Caribbean 2017. Transform the economy to realize the rights. ” Over the past 20 years, Latin America and the Caribbean has made significant progress towards empowering women through social innovations to reduce inequality and correct the gender wage gap. However, these achievements are still incomplete as they have not always translated into better opportunities in practice. The labor insertion of women is around 26 percentage points below men, a situation that reveals structural inequalities to which we must add the persistent exposure to sexual harassment, discrimination and physical and symbolic violence, all factors that continue to limit opportunities for access to the labor market and economic growth. In the present work we will stop at indicators related to levels of literacy and access to sexual and reproductive rights, clear examples of the gap that opens up if we interpellate the economic variables from a gender perspective. We will seek to broaden the horizon of our discussion from the point of view of Silvia Federici, in some of her early texts, which put the results of the reference report in tension. |
