FEMINISM IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION. BETWEEN RIGHTS AND STEREOTYPES

Summary/Abstract: Feminism[1] still represents dynamic and controversial phenomenon, manifested at interdisciplinary level,from the political area to the socioeconomic and juridical area, where woman has successfully created herown identity, overcoming obstacles of all kinds, in order to identify a balance between career and family.Legal regulations have been the main instrument in outlining today woman’s status and planning theequality policy, the law being characterised by its dynamics in its continuous re-dimensioning dependingon the social, historical, cultural, political and economic context, while still keeping its moral values basedon which it has been substantiated and still developed, heading, in its evolution towards a “moral ideal”.Equality between men and women has become a fundamental right, a common value and a prerequisitefor the achievement of economic growth, employment and social cohesion objectives, and the democraticsociety has successfully created full and equal citizen’s rights for all, men and women enjoying the sameopportunities, rights and obligations in all spheres of life. Inspite of these administrative, legislative effortsand approaches, the question still remains whether the gender equality objective has really been achieved?Has this phenomenon been turned into a constant protection topic, which can have a negative effect onwoman’s image, who would thus become a “victim of society”? Are we heading towards protection policiesor towards policies on developing a woman able to build values and contribute to the social, economic andcultural development?
