EMPODERAMENTO DA MULHER E SUA CONDIÇÃO DE AGENTE (AGENCY) ATIVO: UMA ABORDAGEM POLÍTICA E JURÍDICA

: The innumerable forms of exclusion of women reveal different toxic facets that prevent the overcoming of severe forms of human suffering and social imbalance, which affect generations in the present and the future. This approach aims to demonstrate how women’s empowerment through the expansion of the agent condition (agency) is essential for evaluating the conditions of justice. Women have a transforming role – symbolic and concrete – in the social routine; that is, the diminution of their identity and performance generates serious injustices for everyone, legitimizing unjust inequalities. The analysis reference of this approach is Amartya Sen. The methodology used is logical-deductive with bibliographical references and data from reality. The statement: without women, there is no justice and freedom, represents our political and legal conviction about the relevance of their condition as agents (agency) in complex and unequal societies such as Brazil.
