Gender Justice: A Model of Legal-Political Innovation for the Prevention of Human Rights Violations and Gender-based on Child, Early and Forced Marriages and Unions (CEFMU) & Related Contemporary Forms of Slavery, against Girls and Women in Latin America.
This study explores how to prevent Human Rights violations and GBV, deepened by the CEFMU and related contemporary forms of slavery, exercised against girls and women, from a legal and comparative public policy perspective, with a gender approach, in Latin America
It seeks to analyse human rights violations and gender-based violence, caused by CEFMU and their connection with contemporary forms of slavery in order to propose prevention alternatives from a legal and public policy perspective through a comparative study in several Latin American countries, among them: Colombia, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador and Mexico.
Some of the specific objectives are as follows
- To carry out a comparative study between Colombia, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador and Mexico in relation to CEFMU.
- To demonstrate that CEFMU is a violation of the human rights of girls and women, as well as an expression of gender-based violence, and to demonstrate their connection to contemporary forms of slavery in the region.
- Propose a preventive model to the problem, from, for and with a gender and human rights and gender, legal and public justice policy that addresses CEFMU.
