  In society, 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.
