Likewise, discrimination based on sex is prohibited and seeks to promote equity in all related aspects, thus contributing to building a more democratic, egalitarian and cohesive society.
The Labor and Social Security Commission approved, with a casting vote, the opinion of Bill 6554/2023-CR, which establishes the mandatory minimum quota of women in the civil construction regime.
Congressman Segundo Quiroz Barboza (BM), author of the proposal, indicated that it is essential to adopt measures to increase their inclusion in the world of work of women, with adequate working conditions and especially in those sectors of the economy in which they have traditionally been excluded.
“The existing gender gaps put many women at a disadvantage, for example, they are forced to carry out work or care in worse conditions and less paid than in industry or construction, which disproportionately affects women in a vulnerable state.” ”.
The working group chaired by legislator Pasión Dávila Atanacio (BM), also approved Bill 5440/2022-CR, which proposes to modify articles 10 and 11 of Law 26790, in order to improve health coverage in favor of of civil construction workers.
That is, in the case of Civil Construction workers and their heirs, they have the right to coverage for Social Health Security benefits, as long as they have one month of contributions and the renewal of their registration in the National Registry of Civil Construction Workers-RETCC.
