Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In Latin America, women are entering the paid workforce in ever greater numbers. However, women’s entry into the paid workforce has not been accompanied by an expansion of the rights of citizenship that foster and protect their ability to participate in the workforce on equal terms as men. This failure to promote women’s rights is a major impediment to women’s achievement of full citizenship because of the link between paid labor and access to social rights of citizenship and the link between paid labor and access to political agency through organizations linked to labor. Organized labor, which has historically been a key proponent of the social construction of citizenship rights of workers could be a major advocate of women’s labor rights. However, the patriarchal structure of unions has been an obstacle in their advocacy of women’s rights. Furthermore, the neoliberal reforms that have weakened labor have made women’s issues even less of a priority than they had been previously. Regardless, women unionists have recognized the necessity of expanding their labor rights, have become increasingly engaged in the process of citizenship construction, and are organizing in spite of the obstacles posed by neoliberal economic reform. Importantly, they have seen the need to organize outside of the transitional union structure, by collaborating in interunion organizations and with other social actors. In Mexico, the Union Women’s Network and the Working Group on Labor Law Reform with a Gender Perspective are two groups dedicated to expanding women’s labor rights through an engagement in the political discourse of citizenship.
