¡Es Lunes y el CRAI-USTA lo Sabe! La Desigualdad en la Incapacidad Temporal Colombiana.

Abstract

The program addressed the issue of inequality in temporary disability in Colombia, with the participation of experts Ivonne Constanza Valero Pacheco, a Doctor in Law and specialist in occupational risks, and Carolina Cecilia Angulo Name, a Doctor in Law and advisor on human rights and gender-based violence. During the program, Ivonne presented her doctoral thesis, which analyzes the unequal treatment of workers disabled due to common illnesses compared to those with occupational diseases, highlighting how this disparity violates fundamental rights and perpetuates structural inequalities. Her findings and proposals for reforming the Colombian social security system based on international standards were also discussed. Carolina, for her part, reflected on the importance of doctoral research for the design of public policies, emphasizing how such research can influence key areas such as human rights and gender-based violence.
