Abstract

Abstract The main objective of this research is to verify the existence of norms, policies and/or institutions within the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) for the promotion and defense of women's rights, given the position of subalternity, oppression, objectification, sexualization and, repeatedly, racialization that they are subjected to at the domestic level of its Member States, due to a colonial legacy that supported the formation of patriarchal societies in Latin America, therefore, including the southern cone. Not only that, once they exist, we also intended to determine when these measures and actions were adopted, in an attempt to note a link between them and Mercosur's progressive moments. After all, we aim to advance the idea that gender agendas only gain prominence when right-wing politicians are not in office at the States Parties, suggesting, in the end, that for there to be continuity and an effective decolonization of gender in the framework of regional integration, significant institutional changes in the bloc would be necessary.
