¿Las brechas de género son solo un "tema de mujeres"? No. Son una distorsión estructural que frena el desarrollo de todo el país. 🇵🇪📉

Tras asistir a la I Cumbre de Hacedoras, reafirmamos que el trabajo de cuidados no remunerado representa el 1.5% del PBI peruano—equivalente a 3 veces el costo del Puerto de Chancay. Las mujeres asumen el 67% de esta carga invisible, lo que explica por qué el pico de la pobreza femenina coincide con sus años más productivos y reproductivos (25-34 años).

El mundo de las políticas públicas necesita hacedoras comprometidas, con herramientas reales e institucionalidad que sostenga los avances, no liderazgos agotados en un "acantilado de cristal". Cerrar esta brecha proyecta un incremento del +51% en el ingreso por persona al 2045. ¡La igualdad de género es una agenda de país!



[English]
Are gender gaps just a "women's issue"? No. They are structural economic distortions that limit national growth. 🇵🇪📉

Following our participation in the 1st Public Policy Women Makers Summit, we highlight that unpaid care work accounts for 1.5% of Peru's GDP—equivalent to 3x the initial cost of the Chancay Port. Women make up 67% of these caregivers, which explains why the female poverty peak directly overlaps with their prime productive and reproductive years (25-34 years old).

The public sector needs committed women leaders backed by institutional frameworks, not exhausted professionals facing a "glass cliff." Closing these gaps could increase Peru's per capita income by +51% by 2045. Gender equity is a national macroeconomic agenda.

How does corruption weaken the legal protections meant to safeguard women?
Last Monday, Women for International Studies and Equity - WISE and SPAK Indonesia convened a cross-regional dialogue to address this critical intersection.

Through this collaboration, we explored how governance failures act as a "gateway" for systemic crimes, from human trafficking in Southeast Asia to digital harms in the virtual sphere. Our expert panel highlighted that without gender-disaggregated data, the specific impact of corruption on marginalized groups remains a "blind spot" in international law.

Key takeaways from our session:
1. Systemic Failures: We identified how corruption facilitates the manipulation of official bureaucratic procedures to legitimise child exploitation and trafficking.
2. Crisis Vulnerability: We examined the 14-fold increase in vulnerability for women during natural disasters, which creates opportunities for "sextortion" in aid distribution.
3. The Path Forward: We are moving beyond conventional law enforcement to champion a framework of "collective integrity" at the grassroots level.

The insights shared in this webinar will directly inform our upcoming joint research initiatives. We invite our colleagues in the international studies and anti-corruption sectors to join us in this effort to democratize research and strengthen social resilience.
