This research paper aims to demonstrate how the Peruvian laws N.º 26644 and N.º 29409, which grant the right to maternity and paternity leave, respectively, have been conceived without considering a gender approach by reinforcing the role of women as caregivers and not allowing working mothers to balance family and work responsibilities, thus generating a negative effect on women, even in those sectors where women workers are considered "privileged" because of the quality of employment they have access to, such as the financial sector. To this end, the first chapter analyzes women's participation in the Peruvian labor market based on available statistics and develops the concepts necessary to address the problems raised, such as conciliation, co-responsibility, equality and structural discrimination. The second chapter analyzes the experience of female employees of important companies in the financial sector regarding maternity and paternity leave taken by their husbands or partners after becoming mothers, emphasizing how, even when companies implement corporate policies in favor of gender equality, women are not exempt from suffering discrimination with the current regulation of these leaves. Finally, in the third chapter and in accordance to the results of the interviews conducted with female workers in the financial sector, we analyze how the current regulation of maternity and paternity leave represents a violation of the principle of equality and the mandate of non-discrimination against women. This study proposes the implementation of a parental leave that corrects these deficiencies, without neglecting the crucial role played by employers in the achievement of reconciliation with co-responsibility to promote gender equality.
