We already know the achievements of many Nations in terms of women’s rights. Much has been achieved and much has been done throughout the 21 st century, but it is a priority to reach places in the world where women’s rights are incipient, where we are compared to incapable beings who lack development and therefore there are legal acts that do not correspond to us because of our condition of being women.
The debate is far from over, consequently we cannot lower our weapons of words, actions, and even more from the exercise of the profession of jurists, to generate discussion and create the spaces that allow us to continue in the struggle to achieve the women’s rights in the world.
Thanks to all the women and men who have made their contribution to achieve the recognition of women’s rights, the mere fact that a single woman is denied a right generates the need to seek solutions and achieve its restoration.
Yes, it is a reason for celebration, but more to embrace the need to continue the fight.
