Abstract:

A consolidated representative democracy requires representation of all citizens—including women. Yet, most Latin American countries fall short of gender equality in legislative representation at the national level. In this paper, I analyze women’s representation in Latin America asking three questions: What does women’s representation in Latin America look like? Why does it look that way? And, what are the consequences of women’s representation for legislative politics and democracy in Latin America? I answer these questions drawing on recent research conducted on women’s representation and pr

Abstract:

A teologia feminista latino-americana está entrelaçada com a sobrevivência e a espiritualidade diárias das mulheres, repensando assim os conceitos tradicionais de corpos subalternos. É a experiência das mulheres como uma direção para desafiar as noções de revelação e dogma. O diálogo inter-religioso tem sido construído com as lentes ocidentalizantes do Paradigma das Religiões Mundiais que fixam apenas uma noção do que é Religião. Este artigo tem como objetivo desafiar esses conceitos, tecendo hermenêuticas latino-americanas do diálogo inter-religioso, nesse caso, com as mãos de mulheres femini

Abstract:

Despite the progress that women have made in the fight against gender-based violence, it is still prevalent in various countries in the world. For many women in Latin American countries femicide is a constant reality. This paper critically analyzes femicide in Latin American countries and the legal and criminal responses to this crime. The paper defines femicide and discusses the nature and extent of femicide in Latin America. The analysis of this phenomenon in Latin American countries indicates that although some of these countries have made important strides in addressing the problem, they s

Abstract:

The life and work of Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1945, is examined as an example of how difficult it was for women to win recognition as intellectuals in 20th-century Latin America. Despite an international reputation for erudition and political commitment, Mistral has traditionally been represented in stereotypically gendered terms as the ‘Mother’ and ‘Schoolteacher’ of the Americas, and it has been repeatedly claimed that she was both apolitical and anti-intellectual. This article contests such claims, arguing that she was

Does descriptive representation matter? We analyze the impact of descriptive representation on regime support among women and the self-identified indigenous population in Latin America. We find that having a female president does not have a consistent impact on regime support among Latin American women, but that the election of an indigenous president has significantly boosted regime support among indigenous people in Bolivia. We suggest that ethnic representation has had a greater impact than gender representation on regime support in the region for a couple of reasons. First, in Latin Americ

Furthermore, it has identified and questioned the proliferation of the discursive colonialism of hegemonic feminis

We concluded there was a process of postponing transition to adulthood, although much stronger for males than for females, which we attribute to the events li

We find that norms of the “crimmigration era” override humanitarian concerns, such that the state treats migrants as criminals first and as persons with claims for relief second. Removal and relief decisions appear less dependent on eligibility than geography, access to legal aid, and public support.
