Relations of inequality of women in Honduras

Abstract

When speaking about social inequality, there are several views and perspectives from which it’s plausible to approach the subject. This article addresses the topic from two perspectives: a) From the conditions of inequality which the women face in terms of access to living means and b) In formal terms, relative to the political and jurisdictional level, which in a way, is not more than the androcentric resonance of the foundations in which the State is built, from and for males. To avoid falling in false conceptions, the article provides a brief delimitation of the elements that are located in the very base of social inequality, where women turn out to be one of the main victims of a patriarchal system. The authors Rita Segato and Alda Facio, approach the subject in a manner that contributes to this purpose.
