  • A Case Study of Quota Laws and Women's
    TORTOISE AND THE HARE: A CASE STUDY OF QUOTA LAWS AND WOMEN’S REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS IN ARGENTINA AND THE UNITED STATES © 2016 By Hannah M. Arrington A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for completion Of the Bachelor of the Arts degree in International Studies at the Croft Institute of International Studies Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College The University of Mississippi University, Mississippi December 2016 Approved: _________________________________________ Advisor: Dr. Miguel Centellas _________________________________________ Reader: Dr. William Schenck _________________________________________ Reader: Dr. Carrie Smith Abstract Given recent political tension between political parties in both the United States and Argentina, there has been an increased demand for improved and more accurate congressional representation, specifically women’s substantive representation in Congress. As the first nation to institute a legislative candidate gender quota law, Argentina has been the leading Latin American nation to confront anti-feminist politics. Under the cupo de ley femenino, the quota mandate of 1991, all major political parties and certain governments cabinets in Argentina are required to fill a set thirty percent of positions on party candidate lists with women (Ley No 24.012). Whereas in the United States, there is no requirement for representation by gender, and as of 2016 women occupied twenty percent of each congressional house. Researchers have presented new and debated theories regarding the quality of congresswomen’s representation in various government systems following the introduction of quota laws around the world. Although Argentine female politicians fill a third of seats in both lower and upper congressional houses, they are often perceived as political pawns to male party leaders who seek total obedience from women whom they would not have otherwise elected (Zetterberg).

  • The Evolution of Feminist and Institutional Activism Against Sexual Violence
    Bethany Gen In the Shadow of the Carceral State: The Evolution of Feminist and Institutional Activism Against Sexual Violence Bethany Gen Honors Thesis in Politics Advisor: David Forrest Readers: Kristina Mani and Cortney Smith Oberlin College Spring 2021 Gen 2 “It is not possible to accurately assess the risks of engaging with the state on a specific issue like violence against women without fully appreciating the larger processes that created this particular state and the particular social movements swirling around it. In short, the state and social movements need to be institutionally and historically demystified. Failure to do so means that feminists and others will misjudge what the costs of engaging with the state are for women in particular, and for society more broadly, in the shadow of the carceral state.” Marie Gottschalk, The Prison and the Gallows: The Politics of Mass Incarceration in America, p. 164 ~ Acknowledgements A huge thank you to my advisor, David Forrest, whose interest, support, and feedback was invaluable.

  • The Challenges of Women's Participation In
    International IDEA, 2002, Women in Parliament, Stockholm (http://www.idea.int). This is an English translation of Elisa María Carrio, “Los retos de la participacíon de las mujeres en el Parlamento. Una nueva Mirada al caso argentine,” in International IDEA Mujeres en el Parlamento. Más allá de los números, Stockholm, Sweden, 2002. (This translation may vary slightly from the original text. If there are discrepancies in the meaning, the original Spanish version is the definitive text). CASE STUDY The Challenges of Women’s Participation in the Legislature: A New Look at Argentina ELISA MARÍA CARRIO In Argentina, mass-based political parties included a degree of the participation of women going back to their early days, from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, but it was only in the 1980s that we saw the massive emergence of women in party politics. This led to changes in attitude in the search for points of agreement and common objectives. Many women understood that the struggle against women’s oppression should not be subordinated to other struggles, as it was actually compatible with them, and should be waged simultaneously. It was an historic opportunity, as Argentina was emerging from a lengthy dictatorship in which women had the precedent of the mobilizations of the grandmothers and mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, in their white scarves. While women in Argentina have had the right to “vote and be elected” since 1947, women’s systematic exclusion from the real spheres of public power posed one of the most crucial challenges to, and criticisms of, Argentina’s democracy.

  • Cronología Enero 2016
    Argentina Cronología del conflicto social Enero de 2016 Viernes 1 En la ciudad de Buenos Aires, la dirigente de la Asociación Madres de Plaza de Mayo Hebe de Bonafini denuncia que en la madrugada del 31 diciembre un grupo de cuatro personas ingresó por la fuerza al estudio de la radio de la organización y atacó al operador, dando vivas al presidente Mauricio Macri. En González Catán, partido de La Matanza, Gran Buenos Aires, un adolescente de 16 años es asesinado a tiros por un vecino, a quien el joven reclama por el robo de una campera. Más tarde, familiares y amigos de la víctima marchan hacia la casa del homicida, la saquean e incendian. Luego intentan hacer lo mismo con la vivienda de su madre, pero la policía lo impide. Sábado 2 En Rosario, provincia de Santa Fe, el Sindicato de Peones de Taxis lleva a cabo una huelga por 24 horas en repudio al ataque sufrido por el chofer Marcelo Viva, 52, herido de gravedad en la noche del 1º de enero durante un intento de robo. En la ciudad de Buenos Aires, trabajadores pobres organizados en Tupac Amaru instalan un acampe frente a la sede de la secretaría de Vivienda del gobierno nacional y realizan una asamblea para, según afirman, “discutir acciones futuras frente al avance reaccionario del neoliberalismo”. El 29 de diciembre el mismo grupo levantó el acampe en el cruce de las avenidas 9 de Julio y de Mayo, en medio de un gran despliegue de agentes de fuerzas de seguridad. En la ciudad de Buenos Aires, un grupo de vecinos del barrio de Villa del Parque retiene por la fuerza a una cuadrilla de obreros que trabajan para la distribuidora eléctrica Edesur con el objeto de obligarlos a realizar un trabajo de reparación necesario para la restitución del servicio de luz.

En este contexto, las organizaciones que emergieron con fuerza en los 90 sobre el eje de “trabajo digno” (movimientos piqueteros, fabricas y empresas recuperadas, etc.) y de rechazo hacia la corrupción y representación política, contenida en el “que se vayan todos” (asambleas barriales y puebladas), se transformaron en organizaciones con nuevas lógicas, de fuerte participación juvenil, que se identifican con el Estado y experimentan nuevos modos de hacer política. En este artículo, tomamos un caso concreto de Córdoba capital: la organización territorial La Tosco en el Movimiento Evita, con la intención de analizar, comprender e intentar explicar, los modos actuales de organización política tanto a nivel de los movimientos sociales como en su relación con el Estado. Nuestro supuesto de trabajo es que los cambios ocurridos a partir del 2003, condicionan los nuevos modos de hacer política y de organizarse al interior de

Con este fin se aborda el caso de la Organización Barrial Tupac Amaru, destacado por tener mayores recursos, capacidad de movilización e incidencia política, y ser hegemónico en el noroeste argentino, y el único conducido por una mujer. El estudio abarca el periodo 2003- 2014. Los hallazgos muestran que en la Tupac Amaru hay tres formas de entender las consignas de igualdad de género, y que en esta organización-bienestar existe preocupación por el empode- ramiento de las mujeres y el reconocimiento de identidades sexuales diversas, sin todavía articular demandas de autonomía corporal de las mujeres y de redistribución del cuidado entre los géneros.

    16 de noviembre de 2017 Sr. Secretario Pablo Saavedra Alessandri Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos REF. Solicitud de Medidas Provisionales respecto a Milagro Sala, Argentina. Sr. Secretario: Gastón Chillier, en representación del Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales (CELS), Ana Laura Lobo Stegmayer, en representación de Abogados y Abogadas del Noroeste Argentino en Derechos Humanos y Estudios Sociales, y Mariela Belski, Directora Ejecutiva de Amnistía Internacional Sección Argentina, se presentan ante esta Honorable Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (en adelante Corte o Corte IDH) en respuesta a su comunicación de fecha 14 de noviembre de 2017, por la que se nos diera traslado de la respuesta del Estado argentino a la solicitud de medidas provisionales de la ilustre Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (en adelante CIDH o Comisión) Tal como lo ha sostenido la ilustre CIDH, la situación de la Sra. Milagro Sala reúne los requisitos de extrema gravedad, urgencia e irreparabilidad que hacen imprescindible el dictado de las medidas provisionales oportunamente requeridas. En este contexto, aportamos aquí información complementaria a la provista por la Comisión, así como, realizamos observaciones a la respuesta del Estado argentino. I. Palabras preliminares. En su respuesta a esta Honorable Corte IDH, el Estado argentino rechaza la procedencia de la solicitud de medidas provisionales destacando, en resumen, que “…en rigor, el factor de riesgo para la vida e integridad de la señora Sala proviene de sus propias apreciaciones subjetivas en relación con las circunstancias de su detención y de los procesos judiciales en su contra…”1. Lamentablemente, la realidad está muy lejos de estas consideraciones de la Argentina que no solo ratifican la falta de toda intención del Estado de acatar la Resolución 23/2017 de la Comisión sino que, ante sobre todo, avalan y justifican las decisiones de la provincia de Jujuy que han puesto en serio riesgo la vida e integridad personal de la Sra.
