Gender, Society, and Human Rights

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course addresses the problem of inequality between women and men in terms of access, use and benefit of resources and opportunities in an environment free of violence and respect for human rights. The analysis implies the study of the social construction of femininity and masculinity, as well as the different ways in which discrimination and gender violence have limited human development, shaping conditions of social, economic and legal inequality, affecting to a greater extent women and girls. The final intention of this course is that we achieve knowledge about the current components of Discrimination, Inequality and Violence from a methodological and scientific perspective that is the Gender Perspective. We aspire that each and every one of us put on these "gender glasses" and thereby manage to generate changes in ourselves, in our relationships and in our community for the achievement of one of the most important Millennium Development Goals, which is Goal 5. , Equality.
