Emerging epistemological conception of gender equity in the aging of women
Journal Title: Revista Información Científica - Year 2018, Vol 97, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The World Health Organization, through the active aging document, presented a political framework, which offered a new paradigm in the promotion of a satisfactory aging in the key of life. Aging and development must be understood as simultaneous and permanent processes throughout life. Objective: to offer an emerging epistemological conception of gender equity that contributes to dismantling the androcentric vision since the aging of women in the Cuban revolutionary context. Method: a critical theoretical study of androcentrism was carried out, since the aging of women, an emergent epistemological conception of gender equity was constructed that allowed us to focus on new points of view. Results: studies with a gender approach allow us to explain the origin and the forms that androcentrism adopts especially; they have contributed to the criticism of relativism that places this type of practices in terms of cultural variability, allowing to justify discrimination. Conclusions: The studies of aging are not carried out with a gender perspective, this situation makes women invisible, fundamentally in their aging and their lives mark the effects of the social androcentric vision.
