Gender, 2030 Agenda and MERCOSUR

Abstract

The paper intends to reflect on some of the multiple practical problems that arise in the process of integration of the Mercado Común de Sur (MERCOSUR) when considered from a gender perspective. The methodology is the bibliographical revision especially of international legislations, treaties of Human Rights and the decolonial feminist theory. The objective is to understand possible challenges presented to MERCOSUR, the advances and limits of the economic bloc when its aim is a deep integration among the countries that compose it. The expected results are the possibility of theoretical advance, cooperating with the development of possible ways to strengthen the bloc.
