  Many of our routines and activities are linked to our ability to move; be it
commuting to work, shopping for groceries, or meeting friends. Yet, factors
that limit the individuals' ability to fully realise their mobility needs will
ultimately affect the opportunities they can have access to (e.g., cultural
activities, professional interactions). One important aspect frequently
overlooked in human mobility studies is how gender-centred issues can amplify
other sources of mobility disadvantages (e.g., socioeconomic inequalities),
unevenly affecting the pool of opportunities men and women have access to. In
this work, we leverage on a combination of computational, statistical, and
information-theoretical approaches to investigate the existence of systematic
discrepancies in the mobility diversity (i.e., the diversity of travel
destinations) of (1) men and women from different socioeconomic backgrounds,
and (2) work and non-work travels. Our analysis is based on datasets containing
multiple instances of large-scale, official, travel surveys carried out in
three major metropolitan areas in South America: Medell\'in and Bogot\'a in
Colombia, and S\~ao Paulo in Brazil. Our results indicate the presence of
general discrepancies in the urban mobility diversities related to the gender
and socioeconomic characteristics of the individuals. Lastly, this paper sheds
new light on the possible origins of gender-level human mobility inequalities,
contributing to the general understanding of disaggregated patterns in human
mobility.
