| description | The reduction of inequalities and gaps between men and women has been evident in recent decades, particularly since the recognition of women's human rights and the progress of the Regional Gender Agenda in Latin America. However, at the economic level there is still inequality of income and opportunities, derived from the lack of knowledge of the economic role they play. The objective of this work is to analyze the guarantee of human rights that the public policies of equity/gender equality of Colombia and Argentina establish to achieve their economic empowerment, for which a qualitative and case study approach was adopted, with the purpose of applying a normative evaluation of both policies and their contrast with recent figures on income, unpaid work and occupations of women compared to men. It is found that both policies comply with most of the minimum contents of women's human rights regarding their political autonomy; however, the figures for each country show that equality has not yet been achieved in economic matters. It is concluded that countries can carry out normative evaluations of their policies in order to incorporate new frameworks for action in the region. |

La disminución de desigualdades y brechas entre hombres y mujeres ha sido evidente en las últimas décadas, particularmente a partir del reconocimiento de los derechos humanos de las mujeres y los avances de la Agenda Regional de Género en América Latina. No obstante, a nivel económico aún existe desigualdad de ingresos y oportunidades, derivadas del desconocimiento del papel económico que juegan. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la garantía de derechos humanos que las políticas públicas de equidad/igualdad de género de Colombia y Argentina establecen para lograr su empoderamiento económico, para ello se adoptó un enfoque cualitativo y de estudio de caso, con el propósito de aplicar una evaluación normativa de ambas políticas y su contraste con las cifras recientes sobre ingresos, trabajo no remunerado y ocupaciones de las mujeres frente a los hombres. Se encuentra que ambas políticas cumplen con la mayoría de contenidos mínimos de derechos humanos de las mujeres referentes a su autonomía política; sin embargo, las cifras de cada país evidencian que aún no se alcanza igualdad en los asuntos económicos. Se concluye que los países pueden realizar evaluaciones normativas de sus políticas con el fin de incorporar nuevos marcos de acción de la región. A redução das desigualdades e lacunas entre homens e mulheres tem sido evidente nas últimas décadas, principalmente a partir do reconhecimento dos direitos humanos das mulheres e do avanço da Agenda Regional de Gênero na América Latina. No entanto, no plano econômico ainda há desigualdade de renda e oportunidades, derivada do desconhecimento do papel econômico que desempenham. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a garantia dos direitos humanos que as políticas públicas de equidade/igualdade de gênero da Colômbia e da Argentina estabelecem para alcançar seu empoderamento econômico, para o qual foi adotada uma abordagem qualitativa e de estudo de caso, com o objetivo de aplicar uma avaliação normativa de ambas as políticas e seu contraste com números recentes sobre renda, trabalho não remunerado e ocupações das mulheres em relação aos homens. Constata-se que ambas as políticas cumprem a maior parte dos conteúdos mínimos dos direitos humanos das mulheres quanto à sua autonomia política; no entanto, os números de cada país mostram que a igualdade ainda não foi alcançada em questões econômicas. Conclui-se que os países podem realizar avaliações normativas de suas políticas para incorporar novos marcos de ação na região.
