Gabriela Brouwer de Koning, an Argentine deputy, put her finger on the sore spot on the labour inequality gap that exists in Latin America and mainly in Argentina, where only 25% of the economically active female population has rights equal to those of men, and mentioned that the public policies that are dictated still do not cover the entire conglomerate that still has to stay at home to take care of the children and that function is not recognised.
