Abstract: Decades, but with notable advances in access to education and labor participation, challenges remain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of gender discrimination practices on the development of women's competencies in the labor context in a region of northern Peru in 2023. An online survey was administered to 450 women selected in a nonprobabilistic manner. Results: Six research hypotheses were proposed, three of which were empirically corroborated: Workplace->Skills (?= -0.019), Skills-> Career (?=0.701), and Employment Level (?= -0.128). Conclusions: Gender discrimination practices at work, on the one hand, have a negative impact on skills development but, in turn, do not affect women's career progression in the workplace; these findings also highlight the importance of fostering skills development in organizations to increase women's career progression in the work context. Finally, this study provides a general framework for the design of policies and strategies that promote equity, reduce discriminatory practices in the workplace, and maximize the potential of the female workforce.
