Law, gender and work in the Milei era

At hours of March 8, International Women’s Dayit is timely to remember the importance of this date in the context we are living in, in the presidential era of Javier Mileia few months after the emergence of these new rights in political powerand unfortunately in the Government.

If we are going to talk about the consequences that the presidency of Milei In the workplace, it is necessary to initially keep in mind the impact it has from the ideological-discursivepresenting itself without a doubt as a serious setback in terms of public discussionsince it was proposed from the project of omnibus lawand even more so from his own DNU 70/23which in practice would be a annihilation of labor achievements invaluable for all the people who work, added to a voluntary and unjustified ignorance of the indispensable and necessary advances in matters of gender and diversities.

The reforms that it seeks to introduce in labor matters are intended to criminalize strikes and social protests at levels such that They violate the most basic freedoms of any person within a Rule of lawand also aims defund organizations and discourage the exercise of the right to strikeconstitutionally protected.

These legislative modifications are inserted within the framework of greater adjustment, deregulation and shrinking of the State in matters of employment and social action carried out by the new Government, in a context of serious economic crisis, growth of poverty and resounding loss of purchasing power of the salaries and incomes of the most vulnerable sectors.

This situation is extremely serious because it represents the total abandonment by the state of its role as guarantor of the labor and social human rights imposed by constitutional mandate, directly attacking the rights of all citizens.

It’s just that not even in DNU 70/23 nor in the project omnibus law exists a single paragraph that benefits women and diversities. Quite the contrary, as always, they are the sectors most affected in times of crises, adjustments and warsin the history of mankind.

For all this, the scandal continues, because as I said Simone de Beauvoir “…The most scandalous thing about scandal is that you get used to it…”.

As if this were a gracious concession of the patriarchywhich today decides backwhich currently proposes to constitute the Feminist movement as their enemybeing that it was the only political movement in recent years capable of confront entrenched structures in societyas well as installing debates and questions on almost all topics, with depth and content, such as, for example, questioning the care workgiven that what they call love is work.

Adding with this new reasons why the State would incur violation of internationally assumed commitmentssince it has the obligation to guarantee a life free of violence for all citizens and, especially, for those who make up groups in vulnerable situations such as women and people from the LGTBIQ+ groupamong other groups in situations of structural discriminationwho in recent years have been able to give visibility to their struggles, as well as obtain recognition as subjects of law who deserve particular, adequate and reinforced state protection.
