“Hacia una igualdad de género”. Referentes Constitucionales en Cuba en los siglos XX y XXI

Abstract

This research was inspired by the polemics regarding the existence of sexist practices which generate oppression in gender matters that have been institutionalized in Law and which negatively affect society. For that, this research valued the behaviour of the gender equality principle in the historical evolution of the Cuban Constitutionalism of the XXth and XXIst centuries in order to determine the effective equality among the sexes. In order to achieve that, methods such as the historical-judicial and the exegetical-judicial were employed. The development of the research branched into three epigraphs in which an analysis was performed to the mechanism for institutionalization of gender violences in Cuba, evident in the constitutions of 1901 and up to the 1976 chart, with a sexist writing technique in order to provoke new looks to gender thanks to the process of constitutional reform in 2019.
