Abstract

International Human Rights Law has come to break the hegemony of men as the paradigm of humanity, questioning the cultural patterns that grant them privileges in relation to women or populations in conditions of vulnerability for reasons of age, disability, migratory status, sexual diversity and gender identity, among others, created by a patriarchal system.

Prejudices, roles and stereotypes are developed through patriarchal institutions such as biology, philosophy, religion, psychology, education, law, among others. Institutions that reproduce unequal power relations that discriminate against and violate women, dissident men or those excluded by the patriarchal system. Unequal relations based on the ‘power of’ that limits human beings' freedom of decision, the “power to” that restricts participation in decision-making, and the “power over” where force and coercion are used to subject other human beings to their desires.
