(Des)igualdades de género, avances normativos y políticas de igualdad en la Universidad Nacional de Río Negro (Patagonia, Argentina)

Abstract

During 2017, the National University of Río Negro (UNRN) of Patagonia, Argentina incorporated profound changes at the normative level with implications in the promotion of gender equality, among which the approval of a “Protocol for Action on Gender Violence” stands out. as well as the main axes to design in the short term and in a participatory way an “Equality Plan” that promotes equity policies to reduce existing inequalities between men and women. All these reforms would not have been possible without the impulse and struggle of the women of the university of all the cloisters. This article aims to account for the institutional changes that the feminist agenda is producing in the UNRN, the importance of linking the applied research with the public policies of the university, the international obligations that the UNRN has in this matter, as well as the as the pending challenges so that the new policies translate into a significant reduction in the inequalities that women suffer in all areas.
