The II National Survey on Time Use (ENUT 2023) from the National Institute of Statistics indicated that, in Chile, women spend an average of 2 hours and 5 minutes more per day than men on unpaid labor.

Decades of research continue to demonstrate that women are concentrated in precarious jobs that are socially and economically undervalued, resulting in lower wages. Furthermore, during crises, women are often the first to face unemployment. These inequalities become even more pronounced when women become mothers.

According to testimonies from 12 women who survived the military dictatorship that began in 1973, books and reading helped them endure the extreme repression of that time.
