Summary This article looks at what happens to women working in traditionally male public sector occupations, such as the police. In addition, in Latin America and most developing countries, it is key to examine the interaction between precarious jobs and gender discrimination. Indeed, we find that the latter is accentuated in organisations with precarious working conditions. To illustrate this problem, we look at the police organisation in Mexico. This is a key study case to understand the phenomenon: Mexico is an extremely violent country, however, the working conditions of the police are precarious. This precariousness has a greater impact on women because, in addition to working in a profession characterised by instability, they face structural barriers in the performance of their duties and greater obstacles to entry and promotion within the organisation.
