The enforceability of rights in the context of gender inequality

Abstract:

The research will be developed within the context of the analysis of the unjust sexual division of labor, paid or unpaid, and its consequent revision to eliminate the existing inequities through the application of social public policies that guarantee human rights, especially the right to care, as a universal right, so that the work of care, which is generally performed by women, is visible and shared and thus distribute the responsibilities of all members of society, The aim is to make care work, which is generally performed by women, visible and shared, and thus distribute the responsibilities of all members of society, so that it does not only fall on the shoulders of women, but as a right, carries with it an obligation that must be performed by all under equal conditions and that in turn allows women access to the formal labor market. The research is carried out by means of a documentary type investigation and under a qualitative modality; throwing as a conclusion that a heteropatriarchal system exists in most of the South American countries.
