Abstract

The article deals with the existing social disparity between the male and female genders and how the world legal system, throughout contemporary history, helped to perpetuate the devaluation of women, as well as, the need for their consequent insurgency in search of establishing ground for a public discussion that could lead to new regulations allowing for the desired change. It will be analyzed the progress of international legislation, its contribution to the Brazilian system, in the current constitutional text and in the human rights treaties adopted, focusing on the fundamental rights and guarantees offered by them. The final aim is to identify characteristics and retrograde mechanisms maintained worldwide, preventing the overcoming of the impasse.
