CITIZENSHIP AND SOCIAL EMANCIPATION: THE EVOLUTION OF LAW AND THE CONQUEST OF RIGHTS BY VULNERABLE SOCIAL GROUPS

Abstract

The text addresses the evolution of law and the achievement of rights by vulnerable social groups, such as women, LGBT people and other minorities. Through a detailed timeline, the reader can follow the most significant legal milestones that positively impacted the social emancipation and citizenship of these groups, as well as the struggles and achievements that shaped legislation and society over the decades. The exercise of citizenship is crucial in the process of social liberation, especially for these historically marginalized groups, and serves as a powerful mechanism for them to achieve rights and parity in societies that have often denied them full recognition. The text highlights the importance of exercising citizenship in an academic and motivational way, and how the evolution of the law has been driven by movements that seek gender equality, LGBT rights and other forms of social mobilization that advocate for more inclusive and equitable.
