There is a bottleneck in the region regarding the progress of women, according to a report by the United Nations: “The progress of women in Latin America and the Caribbean 2017. Transform the economy to realize the rights. ”Over the past 20 years, Latin America and the Caribbean has made significant progress towards empowering women through social innovations to reduce inequality and correct the gender wage gap. However, these achievements are still incomplete as they have not always translated into better opportunities in practice. The labor insertion of women is around 26 percentage points below men, a situation that reveals structural inequalities to which we must add the persistent exposure to sexual harassment, discrimination and physical and symbolic violence, all factors that continue to limit opportunities for access to the labor market and economic growth.In the present work we will stop at indicators related to levels of literacy and access to sexual and reproductive rights, clear examples of the gap that opens up if we interpellate the economic variables from a gender perspective. We will seek to broaden the horizon of our discussion from the point of view of Silvia Federici, in some of her early texts, which put the results of the reference report in tension. Según el informe de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas “El progreso de las mujeres en América Latina y el Caribe 2017. Transformar la economía para realizar los derechos”, en América Latina la brecha de género persiste y la pobreza se ha feminizado. En la región se evidencia un cuello de botella en cuanto al progreso de las mujeres, según detalla el mencionado informe. A lo largo de los últimos 20 años, América Latina y el Caribe han progresado considerablemente hacia el empoderamiento de las mujeres mediante innovaciones sociales para reducir la desigualdad y corregir la brecha salarial de género. Sin embargo, dichos logros todavía son incompletos ya que no siempre se han traducido en mejores oportunidades en la práctica. La inserción laboral de las mujeres se ubica alrededor de 26 puntos porcentuales por debajo de los hombres. Esta situación pone de manifiesto desigualdades estructurales a las que debemos sumar la persistente exposición al acoso sexual, discriminación o violencia física y simbólica, factores que continúan limitando las oportunidades de acceso al mercado laboral y crecimiento económico. En el presente trabajo nos detendremos en indicadores relacionados con niveles de alfabetización y acceso a los derechos sexuales y reproductivos. Estos indicadores son ejemplos de la brecha que se abre si interpelamos las variables económicas desde la perspectiva de género. Buscaremos ampliar el horizonte de nuestra discusión a partir de la mirada de Silvia Federici, en algunos de sus textos tempranos, que ponen en tensión los resultados del informe de referencia.
