Aborto e emancipação da mulher: um estudo comparado entre Brasil e Uruguai

Abstract

The objective of this study is to show how sexual and reproductive rights of women, with emphasis on abortion, contribute to the emancipation of women. Emancipation that refers to the assumptions of Critical Theory, allocated to the assumptions of feminist theorists of International Relations. Importantly, feminist theories entered the field of International Relations recently and because of it, the incorporation of notions of gender as a socially constructed category of analysis, definition advocated by Scott, is still marginal. To elucidate this assumption of emancipation of women, will be made an analysis of the laws, and institutions of two countries, Brazil and Uruguay regarding the decriminalization of women, and legalize abortion organizations.
