Democracy cannot be written in masculine

Abstract

With the increment of women in public and political life in our country, we observe a significant increase in female violence; it responds to the diverse transformations, social dynamics and gender stereotypes housed in our society. Gender inequality has been one of the major problems of parity democracy, affecting not only women, but a whole society. And it is because of the fact that, we, as women and because of our gender condition, have not been able to fully exercise our political rights under equal conditions. That is why the Senate of the Republic approved in general and in particular a draft Decree that typifies political violence on the basis of gender in order to establish a comprehensive legal framework that allows women’s access to political life in the country.
