The need to assume that the gender perspective, although it receives
differentiated nuances in each of the geo-political spaces with interests or
projection in the Mediterranean, only achieves plausible results if we opt for
analyzes that generate reflection and encourage open dialogue And plural, on
the theoretical and practical dimension of the corresponding studies. We understand that the results could
thus become an effective critical support for conflict resolution and peace.
Human Rights are a reference to invoke, often regrettably without
success, in situations of blatant exploitation, both social, economic, cultural,
etc. In sectors of citizenship such as young and adult women, the elderly and
children. Although we are
talking about 82% of the population, women represent 52% of that population
worldwide, so it is less paradoxical that they continue to be treated as a
collective.
The right to free movement of persons and property also unfortunately
often becomes pre-text for the trafficking and exploitation of the most
vulnerable groups and sectors affected by inequality: in their variants of
evident discrimination, Of non-equality of opportunity and treatment. The foregoing description also
affects groups of men who do not feel identified with practices associated with
masculinity, even though their characteristics conform to those of the
reference anthropological model (male, rich, healthy, heterosexual, white, with
a productive age Between the ages of 30 and 65, etc.).
This critical position aims to establish the theoretical-discursive
basis for ensuring interdisciplinarity and the necessary transversality of the
subject and preserving the desirable complementarity of the anthropological
models sitting in the area (Judeo-Christian and Islamic and / or Muslim), to
achieve its Impact on governments or managers of the not always recognized
rights of discriminated sectors. Such governments or managers must therefore focus their efforts on those
who suffer from double discrimination, such as women and girls, who, as the
United Nations points out (Beijing, 1995 and Beijing + 5 +10 +15 Platforms )
Are developed in unsustainable situations of inequality.
Violence, in all its
typology (direct, structural and cultural) inherent in these serious
situations, is a pending subject of university and research centers,
administrations and civil society that, in coherence with their status and
objectives, do not get involved enough to To design alternative routes that do
not clearly pursue other ends that eradicate this scourge immediately and
overcome this democratic deficit without any justification in societies and
cultures that are supposedly modern, democratic and in solidarity.
In convincing the
relevance of its impact and trusting in its effectiveness, being a Seminar that
is justified not only to deal with recurring issues, but especially for the
priority attention to the immediate problems of immediate resolution, to
generate literature and to expand the Field of knowledge, circulating the
achievements both by the laboratories of potentially critical thinking and by
platforms of media projection, also permeating the cultural and social sphere
through collaboration with citizen organizations and social and cultural
dialogue, Therefore, the main objective of this project.
The Euro-Mediterranean perspective can, in our opinion, enrich the
change or transformation that we pursue: a re-vision of linguistic-mediatic
structures, while traditional / hegemonic legitimacy of macho domination
strategies, based on androcentric and patriarchal epistemological frameworks,
expires .
