Gender discrimination in the hydrocarbon sector

This book presents a situational and contextual diagnosis based on the work of data collection within a research exercise carried out in a contractual framework by a consulting firm in anthropological projects which was executed at the explicit request of an oil company operating in several departments of Colombia. Among the results obtained the following stand out: firstly the situation of women in the field how unsafe and uncomfortable they feel in some situations or contexts confirming the existence of discrimination; secondly the arguments that justify its existence; it was also observed that support for workers in terms of possible denunciations or complaints regarding situations they may experience in the field is very scarce and in turn the spatial conditions in which these people live their daily lives. Based on this recommendations are generated for a future intervention design on these aspects.
