Introduction 2

The feminist movement in Chile

Background:

Chile is a country with a sexist ideology and tradition; it is for this reason that the figure of the woman has been the victim of different discriminations and ill-treatment over the years, within this ill-treatment we can mention the culture of rape, which normalizes and justifies this act by holding the female gender accountable for their behavior or clothing. Also we can include the submission that the most of women suffer in a relationship, in this case, the masculine figure exerts a mastery of the female body, understanding this as an object more than as a person. For all this things, the women’s around the world fight for an equality of right and treat, that’s the start of a feminist movement, including important milestones such as the right to women's vote and the right to abortion.

Problem:

In Chile, the movement, despite having an explosion within the last years, has been subject of controversy due to the little seriousness that takes the male sex in the majority and to a certain part of the female gender, this due to the normalization of the machist behavior long since the beginning of Chilean society. This takes away the serious of the movement, for this, in the social media, so many of people make jokes about this, caricaturing all feminist slogans. The little restriction that is made to the people who repeat these behavior allows them to continue over time and that the society remains blinded under the patriarchal gaze, that objective and manipulates the body and female mind to as you want

Proposed Solution:

The solution for this constant mocking of the feminist movement would be to make the population aware of the problem that is deployed and the because it is struggling, leaving to reproduce as normal, sayings, jokes, images and words that correspond to damage to the genre female. First of all, as a first step, the state must take charge of gender policies that equal the political, social, labor and economic opportunities between men and women, putting society in an undifferentiated equity. Assuming this first movement from the state, it remains to teach within the educational system a gender perspective that helps our children grow with a different look, that helps with full development regardless of gender
