EDUCATION ON GENDER ISSUES IN THE JUDICIAL POWER: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

This paper aims at showing the relevance of training as well as complementing the training of judges through specific studies of gender issues. The topic gives rise to relevant debates and includes essential content that, in fact, should have been addressed from the initial studies, in undergraduate courses in Law, specially considering that Brazil is a country full of social, political, economic, gender and race inequalities. The reflections herein focus on my personal experience teaching the
subject Gender Issues for judges who are starting their careers at the The Brazilian National Judicial School for Formation and Development – Enfam. This is a complex issue to be dealt with in the field of justice, which has in its core deep rooted structures of patriarchy, racism and sexism, but which must be discussed and given new meaning.
