| description | The article analyses the situation of women in the legal professions in
Argentina, with special reference to the Argentine judicial system. It
enquires into the context of the main socio-legal transformations that
allowed Argentine women, initially, to access higher education, professional
practice and political citizenship and, later, to access the rights that
provide the framework to have a life free of gender-based discrimination,
including the cluster of LGBTI+ rights. It describes the incorporation of
gender mainstreaming into the legal and institutional universe of legal
professions in recent decades. Lastly, it reflects on two dimensions of
gender-based discrimination that still prevail: that of epistfemicide and
that of the glass ceiling, and provides some keys to design strategies for
its eradication. |
