Abstract

REY MARTINEZ, Fernando. Equality Between Women and Men in the Spanish Constitutional Court's Jurisprudence. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2010, vol.43, n.129, pp.1323-1369. ISSN 2448-4873.

The Spanish Constitutional Court has issued numerous judgments of high technical merit. It has established, for example, the basic concepts, such as equality of treatment (direct and indirect discrimination) and equal opportunities. However, the Court has not always used such theoretical concepts more precise. This paper critically examines all the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court on the constitutional prohibition of discrimination based on gender (until 2010).

Keywords : equality and non-discrimination; gender discrimination; direct and indirect discrimination; equal opportunities or affirmative action mandate; positive or reverse discrimination.
