SALDARRIAGA GRISALES, Dora Cecilia  and  GOMEZ VELEZ, Martha Isabel. FEMINIST THEORIES, ABOLITIONISM AND DECOLONIALITY: CRITIC THEORIES QUESTIONING THE WOMEN’S RIGHTS EFFECTIVENESS. Prolegómenos [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.41, pp.43-60. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.3329.

This article’s main goal is to display in decolonial code the Human Rights Eurocentric Universalist Project and the way the abolitionism critic theories and feminism intertwine in order to show the patriarchal foundations of these rights. Being that said, this article tries to concretize the ineffectiveness of the legal order to protect women’s rights, but towards a three critic theories perspective: decoloniaty, feminism and abolitionism. The methodology used starts from the qualitative paradigm to analyze social realities by using a hermeneutic method but since a decolonial sight in order to apply less strict focuses without diminishing Latin-American social research rigour. Therefore, this document is divided in four sections as follows: (i) genre studies inputs, (ii) feminism as critic theory, (iii) abolitionism perspective and (iv) deconoloniaty as closing point to contribute to the unpatriarchalization of the law.

Keywords : Genre; feminism; decoloniality; abolitionism; women’s rights; critic theories.
