The Buenos Aires judicial workers carried out this Friday an intervention on the steps of the Supreme Court of the province of Buenos Aires in which they displayed red shoes as a symbol of women and girls who are victims of violence, and put up posters in several courts with sentences that considered “shameful” due to the lack of a gender perspective.
The activity took place at the headquarters of the courthouse located at 13 between 47 and 48 in the city of La Plata and was organized by the Collective of Judicial Workers and the gender secretary of the Buenos Aires Judicial Association (AJB).
About 140 employees, officials, experts, magistrates, prosecutors and defenders They also submitted a note to the highest court to request the creation of a Gender Secretary to address gender-based violence in the workplace; create an Action Protocol in cases of violence; train the operators and enforce the Micaela Law.
In the text they considered that this Secretariat should contemplate the labor inclusion of the transvestite trans group; change the licensing regime; monitor and relieve cases; keep a record of Family Violence and apply the national gender identity law
In parallel, they added that “the Institute of Judicial Studies is the body for the implementation of Law 15,134 on Compulsory Training in Gender”; the “effective implementation of transvestite labor inclusion”; a “change in the use of the generic masculine” and “participation in the Permanent Commission on Gender and Equality of the Supreme Court”.
At the same time, they demanded a “report from the Permanent Commission on Gender and Equality” from the highest court and demanded a “prompt meeting” with the Court.
“Not one less, not one more misogynist ruling. Gender perspective in the judiciary,” requested the Collective whose members made a poster sticker in different courts to show what they consider “shameful rulings.”
In them you can read misogynistic phrases towards women and analyzes lacking a gender perspective, such as “who knows why psychological dysfunction preferred to stay next to a violent and beating person instead of favoring the well-being and life of his son “.
“Lucía was 16 years old and Farías 23, so it would be very forced to speak of a situation of inequality or superiority, especially considering the personality of Lucía, who did not appear to be a girl of her age”, is another of the excerpts exhibited in the corridors of the criminal jurisdiction of the Buenos Aires capital.
Another of the “embarrassing failures” indicates: “The victim, after 27 years of living with the accused, with whom she conceived four children, began to show attitudes of contempt, abandoning the marital bed, neglecting the tasks of mothers and their own home to engage in exchanging messages with another man.
