Abstract
En el presente trabajo se abordan, desde una perspectiva de género, algunas cuestiones claves del concepto de ciudadanía, entendiendo que éste cobra su máximo sentido desde la participación política de los/as ciudadanos/as en tanto tales. Tal posicionamiento invita a la participación de una ciudadanía activa que, además de buscar la participación en los asuntos que atañen a la comunidad de la que forma parte, contribuye a reducir las desigualdades sociales existentes en las sociedades actuales. Pero las desigualdades sociales e históricas padecidas por las mujeres dificultan su participación dentro del juego democrático, lo que se traduce en desigualdades políticas que limitan sus posibilidades de ejercer la ciudadanía en contextos democráticos, diagnóstico que se deduce tras el análisis de los datos estadísticos sobre participación política en España que se muestra.
Highlights
The liberal concept of citizenship initiated with the modern State is configured according to gender, so that a dichotomy between public and private occurs that limits the status of citizens as women even after the formal recognition of the rights that they foreseeably protect your exercise
This has been a central theme in feminist literature since Carole Pateman reviewed, in 1997, the theories of the modern social contract to argue that it is precisely this pact that originates a patriarchal concept of citizenship that will be the fundament of the exclusion of women
The citizen is not one who is the subject of rights, but it is necessary that citizenship be manifestly political, so that the exercise of active citizenship through political participation is a concrete manifestation of our rights and duties
Summary
The liberal concept of citizenship initiated with the modern State is configured according to gender, so that a dichotomy between public and private occurs that limits the status of citizens as women even after the formal recognition of the rights that they foreseeably protect your exercise. Associationism is more practiced by men than by women, but this situation is reversed when exclusively considering associations of a political nature or linked to community issues and excluding others of a more playful, sporting, artistic nature In this sense, women are more interested in participating in social movements or initiatives unrelated to public administration and institutions, but this time older men have more presence than women and the differences in favor of greater representativeness of women show the higher their level of education is. The same goes for labor unions, which is majority male participation
