THE COLLECTIVE NEED FOR WOMEN’S INCLUSION AND PARITY IN THE CHILEAN CONSTITUENT OF 2022

Abstract

Collective needs show social realities that must be overcome, for which, the United Nations Organization in working on the 2030 Agenda, in order to achieve Objectives and Goals that reduce these levels, especially in the fight against impoverishment
SDG1 and gender equality SDG 5. These needs have their context in Latin America, equally focused with the global Goals, demanding that States take a proactive attitude in materializing equality.  The open and inclusive Latin American constituent  processes reflect in their proposals and new constitutional frameworks, the constitutionalization of these needs embodied in founding principles and in rights of different generations, which are justiciable. Political parity specifically, in the Constituent Process of Chile, which was manifested in the integration of the conventional ones, in the Constituent Convention, a
milestone in world constitutionalism, which sought, through a broad political meeting, to generate a new horizon, inclusive towards women and in the recognition of the ancestral indigenous peoples that inhabit Chilean territory and in inclusive legal
pluralism, was rejected by the people in consultation, exit plebiscite. The proposal for a new Political Constitution, however, it was positive, in exploring new constitutional approaches, which will surely be taken up again in a new constituent
itinerary.
