Workplace mobbing, an insidious form of harassment that erodes the dignity and self-esteem of those who suffer from it, is a heartbreaking reality for many women in the region.
Women who have achieved these positions have done so despite the persistence of gender roles and prejudices, based on the idea that public spaces for decision-making and the exercise of political power do not belong to them.
Mobility reflects inequities rooted in social roles historically assigned to men and women, as cities are mostly designed and built by and for men. Consequently, this situation poses substantial obstacles for women in their routine activities.
When the gender approach is not considered in macroeconomic policies, it is women who end up cushioning the impact of crises through unpaid domestic and care work.
