Online Video Series: Women's Economic Rights (Southern Cone)
[ http://www.youtube.com/ ]
Languages: English | Spanish | Portuguese
The countries of the Southern Cone have distinct economic realities. However, when the issue is women and labor markets, they have something in common. Women have less secure jobs, receive lower wages, and generally work in the informal sector. Not only is their work undervalued, they face a double workload as they seek to conciliate their working lives with their roles as homemakers and caregivers. In this five-part series, TV Brasil International evaluates the economic realities women live in and the challenges they face in the Southern Cone region, particularly in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. (Producers: TV Brasil International, UN Women; Date of Release: March 2011; Language: Portuguese. Available in English and Spanish subtitles)

What kind of State? What kind of equality?
[ http://www.eclac.cl ]
Languages: English | French | Portuguese | Spanish
The document "What kind of State? What kind of equality?" analyses the progress of gender equality in the region 15 years after the approval of the Beijing Platform for Action, 10 years after the drafting of the Millennium Development Goals and 3 years after the adoption of the Quito Consensus at the tenth session of the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean, held in 2007. It also examines the achievements made and challenges faced by governments in light of the interaction between the State, the market and families as social institutions built on the foundation of policies, laws, and customs and habits which, together, establish the conditions for renewing or perpetuating gender and social hierarchies. ECLAC, 2010.
