Government Position on Feminicide
The Argentine Government has expressed its intention to remove feminicide from the Penal Code, citing concerns that it creates unequal treatment under the law. According to the Minister of Justice, Mariano Cúneo Libarona, this move is necessary to ensure that all lives are valued equally.
Libarona emphasized that equality should not be about granting privileges to one group over another, but rather about ensuring that everyone is treated with the same respect and protection. He also argued that the concept of feminicide implies that one life is worth more than another, which goes against the principle of equality.
President’s Statement on Gender Ideology
President Javier Milei recently spoke out against what he termed the “sinister agenda of ‘wokism'” and “radical feminism”. He expressed his opposition to the idea of gender ideology and argued that it has been used to create divisions and undermine traditional values.
Milei also questioned the existence of the wage gap, suggesting that men and women are paid equally for the same work. He attributed the disparity in earnings to the fact that men tend to pursue better-paid professions.
The president’s comments sparked controversy, with some arguing that his views are out of touch with reality. However, his supporters see his stance as a necessary step towards promoting equality and challenging what they perceive as a biased and divisive ideology.
