The Antígona Research Group, rights and society with gender perspective (SGR2014-519) was established in 2000 within the Department of Political Science and Public Law at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, based in Catalonia, Spain. Antigona was recognised, in 2005, as a Emergent Research Group (GRE) by AGAUR of the Generalitat of Catalonia, and was distinguished as a Consolidated Research Group (GRC) in 2009 (SGR2009-570) and in 2014 (SGR2014-519). The main purpose of Antígona is to analyse the development of women’s rights with gender perspective. The legislation and public policies in Spain are being built upon different definitions which are needed to clarify and specify, as well as the characteristics and content of the right of women in our country. Furthermore, it’s necessary to adopt a gender perspective in front of the Law and to do a review of the legal categories that enable show its shortcomings. For Antígona is key to understand and explain in gender perspective the content, definitions, criteria and parameters from where are building women’s rights in legislation, of the jurisprudence and public policies at the local, community and national level. In this way, the group’s research is geared specifically to analyze the mechanisms used to create a gender perspective in the legal field, to identify the practices that are generating legal and social spaces, and describe the process of creation and development of the gender public policies in Spain. |
