Claroscuros: entre la paridad de género y la violencia política en México en el contexto de la Cuarta Transformación (4T)

Abstract

With gender parity, it has been shown that although it is supported by the legislative, substantively there are different kinds of resistance to avoid share spaces to decide politically with women. Political violence against women in México has increased as they have been integrated into the political sphere at different levels of government, as mayors, deputies, senators, etc. This phenomenon that women deal was initially called “participation costs”; spaces to decide, particularly political ones, have been culturally occupied by men and when they –woman– are integrated, they are perceived as transgressors and attacks on them are justified when they participate politically. In this paper I analyze some cases occurred within current 4T government.
