Decriminalization of abortion and gender perspective

Abstract

The initiatives that promote the decriminalization of abortion have shown the lack of clarity and precision that exists around some terms used by those who promote it. This is the case of the use of the term "gender perspective". It is common to find the term gender in the various provisions relating to the protection of the "rights of women" with terms like "gender discrimination", "gender violence", "gender equity" among others. But, what is the real meaning of gender perspective? Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to distinguish between gender perspective and gender ideology, and determine which of these concepts is connected to the request for abortion. Also, make a brief analysis of the ways in which women's movements have begun the search for equality between men and women. This will make it possible to identify the thought that underlies the claims of abortion as a woman's right.
