Informality and gender: Major absentees in the discussion on the right to work
The United Nations has proposed a human rights and business agenda as a framework for countries to take action to prevent human rights violations that some companies have committed throughout history. However,
this initiative exemplifies the situation in developed countries, where labor informality, which is widely represented by women and predominates in developing countries, is not taken into account. To analyze the absence
of this gender approach in the context of labor informality within the agenda, researchers of the
Faculty of Law at Universidad del Rosario studied the informal mining in Colombia, a field historically related to violence and discrimination against women.
