Implicații culturale şi normative asupra protecției juridice a drepturilor femeii în sistemul inter-american

Abstract

This article focuses on demonstrating how the cultural norms applicable to women in the inter-American society can influence regulatory approaches concerning the protection of their rights. From a structural point of view, the research is comprised of two major orientations: the presentation of the concepts of inter-American culture through which are concretized the characteristics of the female gender, of the male gender and of the specifics of their inter-relation and the identification of formal regional initiatives aimed at both overcoming mentality patterns that maintain women’s inferiority in society – these being established by culture, and at achieving the effective protection of women’s rights. The main reason why we have written the above-mentioned research thesis is naturally understood: if the protection of women’s rights is a synthesis process, then, in creating the relevant legislation to respond to gender issues, it is necessary to consider the cultural aspects – as the latter are the noble expression of the mind of a human community.
