Main themes

The aim of the studies in gender law is more particularly, in a precocious way, for the student to explore the potentialities and limits of juridical equality and to discern how and why juridical equality differs from more theoretical notions on equality. This involves looking at notions such as " gender mainstreaming " ( an integrated approach of the dimension of equality in all political, economic and social domains) and their implications in terms of evaluation and legislative proposals etc. In addition, its specific goal is a fully transversal dimension of equality which transcends the inequalities between all social groups : the equality of men and women. The "Gender Law " course aims to train students to have a critical stand on law, from the perspective of gender. To this end, the course initiates students into the fundamental concepts of gender studies (notion of sex and gender ; identity, equality, difference; different conceptions of eqality; social relationships between the sexes; gender mainstreaming etc.) and their evolution in time and space. This is then applied to the concepts in the different law disciplines with a view to providing the student with original and critical reading tools in the construction, application and effects of the juridical norms.
