Constitutive Element

Cuando se analiza la igualdad de género en el Estado ecuatoriano es importante relacionar la desigualdad y la exclusión, que son sistemas de una pertenencia jerarquizada. Existe una realidad tan común en las sociedades donde se identifica, de manera errónea, la igualdad de género o estudia de manera superficial los logros en cuanto a derecho de las mujeres, rezagado o disminuido por muchos años por todas las sociedades. Género no es sinónimo de mujer, feminismo o sexo, pero si tiene una gran relación con estos términos, es algo más complejo que tiene que ver con el elemento constitutivo de las relaciones sociales y las relaciones de poder. Lamentablemente el problema sigue vigente y con mucho aún que discutir, algunos doctrinarios opinan que tal vez la solución es que los hombres y las mujeres compartan, en igualdad condiciones, responsabilidades, pero esto no es necesariamente la punta del iceberg. Este trabajo ofrece una breve historia de la participación de la mujer en la función pública, haciendo énfasis en los últimos años, en los cuales surge la igualdad de género en la vida política y pública de la mujer ecuatoriana. AbstractWhen gender equality in Ecuador is discussed, it is important to relate inequality and exclusion, which are a hierarchical system of belonging. There is such a common reality in societies where gender equality is erroneously identified or the achievements in terms of women’s rights are superficially studied, behind or decreased for many years by all the societies. Gender is not synonymous of women, feminism or sex, but it is strongly related with these terms, it is more complex that has to do with the constitutive element of social and power relations. Unfortunately, the problem is still in force and with a lot to discuss, some doctrinaire state that perhaps the solution is that men and women share, on equal terms of conditions and responsibilities, but this is not necessarily the tip of the iceberg. This paper provides a brief history of the participation of women in public service, emphasizing in recent years, in which gender equality in political and public life of Ecuadorian women emerges.

Respect for women is a noble quality inherent in our people. A worthy encouragement of the role and work of women in the upbringing of a healthy and harmoniously developed generation, the creation of the best conditions for them are among the priority directions of state policy. Widely used in the world community, the concept of "gender equality" implies the equal participation of men and women in all spheres of state and public life, in particular, in governance, decision-making and the security sector. A solid legal basis for equality between women and men has been created in our country. Their equality is enshrined in the Constitution. Labor law also provides for gender equality. As a result of the large-scale reforms being implemented in the country, the place of women in the socio-economic sphere is increasingly being strengthened.

Abstract Despite the laws and regulations that should ensure equal gender treatment, women are still disadvantaged in all businesses and public sector. This discrimination is manifested particularly in the approach to jobs, financial evaluation, political nominations and opportunities of developing their abilities regardless of gender. The gender differences in work and public life remain even today the most visible evidence of inequality between men and women in our society. The gender equality is one of the fundamental principles of EU law and all its member countries committed to be in the compliance with it. This article reviews the current state of gender equality in EU.

In this study, we sought to understand, from a gender perspective, the experiences of mining couples in Antofagasta, Chile, especially the balance between their intimate lives and the absences of their partners due to the shift work modality. We analyzed testimonies from men and women living in Antofagasta, which is considered to be one of the world’s three largest mining regions. Among the main findings, power relations based on the hegemonic gender model supported by the sexual division of labor were identified, which persist in this mining area, despite progress in gender equality issues in Chile. Although there are differences between the discourses of men and women and their subjective positioning, we propose that both actively collaborate with the reproduction of social gender relations marked by male domination. We propose that the way in which couples live is associated with the organization of mining work and especially the shift system, which is central to the reproduction of the gender order with a heteropatriarchal tone.

While there is an on-going debate about what constitutes current policies and practices on gender equality between men and women in Rwanda, there is general agreement that Rwandan traditional beliefs and cultural norms have produced a patriarchy ideology and unequal power relations between women and men. Such traditional beliefs are not only observed in Rwanda, but in different parts of the world as well; and it is still problematic to assess a framework in which current gender policies are redesigned to allocate equitable power between women and men. This study focuses on the analysis and comparison of issues of gender identity and power relations as embedded in the Rwandan short narratives and in the Millennium Development Goals on gender equality. More specifically, this study investigates the design and redesign of the issues related to power relations and their effect on gender identity conception and assumption. Analysed from Marxist theories of power and Thompson’s modes perspectives, the findings suggest that Rwandan traditional narratives view men as more powerful than women and the society expects more from men in terms of responsibilities. As for the Millennium Development Goals, they focus on women empowerment only and thereby create a new imbalance between men and women. The paper recommends equality in terms of a maleness and femaleness ideology from policy to legislation and other domains.

The article aims to question the easily given and accepted notion of “gender equality” and “gender egalitarianism and justice” in Sufism in Pakistan, which does not (otherwise) question the power relations between man and woman given within practice of Sufism. The analysis does not draw on theological undertones rather it relies on socially lived reality of understanding “gender” and the hierarchy as it is practiced, mediated and legitimized in the daily life of people through Sufism. The study problematizes the concept of ‘gender’ in practice of Sufism in Pakistan through the works of Joan W Scott. It attempts to examine how gender is articulated within Sufism through practice in Pakistan. Sufism in contemporary Pakistan practiced through shrines, orders and mater-disciple relationship, when analyzed through the analytical category of gender i.e. power relations between men and women that operate within and across four interrelated social levels, reveals its gendered nature. I contend, that claims of gender egalitarianism or gender equality within Sufism (discursive level) is not actually practiced in the realm of activity instead, Sufism in practice reconstitutes or reestablishes gendered order or duality and gender hierarchy within society. With the critical examination of secondary literature, these assumedly claims and notions of gender egalitarianism, when contested or problematized, reveals the hidden gendered face of Sufism in Pakistan. Therefore Sufism as practiced in contemporary Pakistan constitutes discrimination, difference, hierarchal and asymmetrical power relations between women and men.

En una sociedad en la que existe la desigualdad de género, se violan derechos y libertades. Uno de los pilares fundamentales del Estado de Derecho es el principio de igualdad. Desde un punto de vista jurídico se reconoce la igualdad de todas las personas ante la Ley, pero hace falta además que se produzcan cambios sociales y estructurales que hagan de ese principio constitucional, una igualdad real y efectiva. El Estado social y democrático de Derecho requiere que las políticas públicas que desarrolla introduzcan como uno de sus objetivos fundamentales el principio de igualdad de oportunidades entre mujeres y hombres. Las políticas activas de igualdad de género deben de ser puestas en marcha desde las instituciones públicas para la superación de los obstáculos que dificultan la plena participación de las mujeres en los diversos ámbitos de la vida, con el fin de convertir la igualdad reconocida legalmente, en una situación real y efectivamente igualitaria para mujeres y hombres. La razón fundamental que justifica la necesidad de las políticas de igualdad de género es la persistencia de la diferencia que existe entre la igualdad legal, la ausencia de discriminación en la legislación vigente, y la igualdad real, la igualdad de trato como criterio en las prácticas sociales.In a society where there is gender inequality, rights and freedoms are violated. One of the fundamental pillars of the rule of law is the principle of equality. From a legal point of view recognizes the equality of all persons before the law, but it does lack in addition to occur social and structural changes that make of this constitutional principle, equality real and effective. The social and democratic State of law requires public policies developed as one of its fundamental objectives introduce the principle of equality of opportunities between women and men. Active gender equality policies must be put in motion from the public institutions for overcoming the obstacles that hinder the full participation of women in the various fields of life, in order to make equality recognized legally, in a real situation and effectively equal for women and men. The fundamental reason that justifies the need for gender equality policies is the persistence of the difference between legal equality, non-discrimination in the legislation in force, and real equality, equality of treatment as a criterion in the social practices.

O fenômeno da violência extrema contra mulheres mostra-se tão antigo quanto à própria humanidade, ou seja, as mulheres sempre foram tratadas como objeto, ao qual o homem podia usar, gozar e dispor. O que há de recente na História da América Latina (e do Brasil!) é a preocupação com a violência sexista e mais novo ainda é a sua judicialização, na tipificação dos crimes, como sendo feminicídios. O entendimento das causas desse fenômeno torna-se, assim, central nas questões de segurança pública, na problemática das redes de saúde e dos processos de escolarização. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo focaliza os principais marcos legais existentes, reflete sobre manifestações ocultas nas brutais cenas de violência entre homens e mulheres, e pontua importantes interfaces de variação no mapa da violência contra mulheres, em especial, no Brasil. Palavras-chave: Feminicídio. Violência Sexista. Misoginia. CONCEPTUAL CONTRIBUTIONS ABOUT THE PHENOMENON OF FEMICIDE Abstract: The phenomenon of extreme violence against women is as old as humanity itself, that is, women have always been treated as objects which men could use, enjoy anddispose. What is recent in the history of Latin America (and Brazil!) is the concern with sexist violence and the even more recent is its judicialization, in the typification of crimes, as femicides. Understanding the causes of this phenomenon becomes this way central to public safety issues, the problem of health networks and schooling processes. In this sense, this article focuses on the main existing legal frameworks, reflects on hidden manifestations in the brutal scenes of violence between men and women, and points out important interfaces of variation on the map of violence against women, especially in Brazil. Keywords: Femicide. Sexist Violence. Misogyny. CONTRIBUCIONES CONCEPTUALES SOBRE EL FENÓMENO DEL FEMINICIDIO Resumen: El fenómeno de la violencia extrema contra las mujeres es tan antiguo como la humanidad misma, es decir, las mujeres siempre han sido tratadas como objetos que los hombres pueden usar, disfrutar y disponer. Lo más reciente en la historia de América Latina (¡y Brasil!) es la preocupación por la violencia sexista y la novedad sigue siendo sujudicialización, en la tipificación de los delitos, como feminicidios. Comprender las causas de este fenómeno se convierte así en un elemento central de los problemas de seguridad pública, el problema de las redes de salud y los procesos escolares. En este sentido, este artículo se centra en los principales marcos legales existentes, reflexiona sobre manifestaciones ocultas en las escenas brutales de violencia entre hombres y mujeres, y señala importantes interfaces de variación en el mapa de violencia contra las mujeres, especialmente en Brasil.

AbstractThis paper is an attempt to reinterpret the Song of Songs 7:10 - 8: 4 using the Critical Historical approach in a gender perspective. The Critical Historical Approach is a method of interpretation that emphasizes historical findings, both the history of the text and the history of the context of the text. For a very long time this passage has been interpreted allegorically, human relations with God are like lovers, but this time the text will be interpreted more freely and let it speak independently of traditional concepts of thought. The Song of Songs 7:10 - 8: 4 was written in the Babylonian Exile when the Persian Empire ruled the land. In socio-historical terms, the text can be understood to offer a new concept for the improvement of the nation which at that time needed new strength, namely gender equality between men and women. Equality of both sexes is an idea that is a great leap in that era.Key Words: Song of Songs 7:10 -8: 4, Interpretation, Gender Perspective, Equality.
