This article seeks to determine the extent to which judicial processes include a gender perspective, as well as the possible effects and instances of discrimination that accused women experience when it is absent. This research focuses particularly on analyzing the case of Keren Ordóñez, a young woman from Veracruz accused of kidnapping whose criminal proceedings did not protect her right to equality in criminal action and justice. The theoretical‒methodological approach taken starts from a gender perspective in line with the critical feminist stand that proposes denouncement as the way to eradicate gender oppression. Among the findings, it is demonstrated that Keren’s case was not considered with a gender perspective, on the contrary, it was an act of discrimination that violated her right to access justice under conditions of equality.

Palabras llave : gender; equality; human rights; access to justice; gender perspective.
