The critical issues of gender inequalities in Latin America and the Caribbean

Research gowns for research teams

The situation of women in Latin America and the Caribbean is marked by various forms of precarity. Their lives unfold within dynamics of inequality and discrimination. While there have been changes and advances in recent years, and the situation is not the same in all countries and regions, inequalities persist and are particularly pronounced in women's lives.

Various forms of violence permeate the lives of millions of women, often rooted in the normalization of multiple inequalities. In many countries, the situation of women and the struggles for equal rights and better living conditions have deteriorated in recent years, revealing a complex landscape of threats and dangers. At the same time, mobilizations by broad sectors of society for women's rights are growing, denouncing violence, inequalities, and discrimination of various kinds, and demanding respect for a dignified life and the recognition of equality.

In this call we promote the application of research teams that integrate researchers from diverse backgrounds, trajectories and experiences and that can also incorporate public responsibility and work with organizations and social movements.

Based on the above, CLACSO is calling for research grants for teams on “The critical knots of gender inequalities in Latin America and the Caribbean” that aim to produce rigorous knowledge about the issues raised, as well as generate influence that contributes to counteracting the inequalities experienced by women in Latin America and the Caribbean.
