    Mujeres y hombres: brechas de género en Colombia

    "Mujeres y hombres: brechas de género en Colombia" es posible gracias a los esfuerzos del Gobierno colombiano por avanzar hacia un sistema estadístico nacional que se caracteriza por buscar la innovación y la inclusión en sus procesos, lo cual resulta evidente en el planteamiento y en el desarrollo de estrategias contundentes para promover la inclusión del enfoque de género, diferencial e interseccional en la producción, la difusión, el análisis y la utilización de las estadísticas.

    Care in Latin America and the Caribbean during the COVID-19: Towards comprehensive systems to strengthen response and recovery

    The construction of comprehensive care systems is a fundamental factor in achieving the empowerment of women and gender equality, and it is a key element in socioeconomic recovery in that it creates jobs both directly and indirectly and enables other sectors of the economy to function adequately. For these reasons, UN Women and ECLAC are calling for the governments in the region to put care at the center of their responses to COVID-19, by creating incentive and recovery packages, promoting comprehensive systems that ensure access to care for people who need it, and guaranteeing the rights of those who provide it. These comprehensive care systems can become a real driver for a socioeconomic recovery which leaves nobody behind.
