THE IMPACT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN HUMAN RIGHTS SYSTEM AS AN INSTRUMENT OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF JUDICIAL POLICIES TO COMBAT GENDER DISCRIMINATION

Abstract

The creation of social gender roles generates stereotypes that can be seen even in the justice system. When faced with such situations, the Inter-American Human Rights System issues decisions that, in addition to having a legal and political impact on the domestic system, are reflected in the social environment through judicial policies, modifying the socio-cultural awareness related to discrimination against women.
