AB The Colombian Constitution upholds the principle of equality between men and women in all public and private spheres, yet many forms of discrimination persist. Women are more affected by unemployment than men and receive lower wages. This disparity is widest in rural areas. The number of households headed by women rose significantly between 1992 and 2001. Women who are solely responsible for their families are the most vulnerable to poverty.
