The gender perspective

We live in the midst of a profoundly inequitable, profoundly unjust society. We are living in a time in which the world is subordinated to a system that keeps us away from our minds, our bodies, our environment and ourselves. We are living in a time of conjuncture in which resistance is necessary to try to rescue the world that belongs to us and that has been taken away from us; a time in which we must think about what we want, what we need, how and where we should walk. And to begin to trace this path, it is important to recognise first of all that the reason for this profound injustice, that which refers to the unequal conditions that exist between the sexes, ethnic groups and social classes, is not due to differential access to optimal development conditions, but is the consequence of an access that is inversely proportional, in which the benefits obtained by a single sex, a single ethnic group and a single social group are generated based on the subjugation of the other sex, other ethnic groups and other social groups.
