EQUALITY, JUSTICE AND GENDER
Keywords:
formal equality; substantial equality; gender; law; justiceAbstract
analysis of concepts such as equality / inequality is transversal in any study that is undertaken on current legal and political systems and their relationship with the problems derived from gender. It is undeniable that the rationalist and universalist framework in which the illuminist discourse on the equality of all before the law was formulated, today has changed and - most of all - is currently an obstacle to the adequate understanding of the present stage of the democratic policy of freedom and equality. The universality, the abstraction, the formal equality is not enough since in some cases they are even accomplices of the cruelest inequality. How can the law be an instrument of equality that is concretely effective in a framework of social action as fragmented, as diverse, as discriminatory and exclusive as the current one? Inquiring about these
issues implies, in a certain way, transversely crossing important analysis scenarios, such as equality, justice and gender.
