NOVA LAVERDE, Mariluz. The Gender Category and the Various Forms of Injustice. An Invitation to Rethink about the "Who" of Justice. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.2, pp.89-116. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/esj18.02.2016.03.

Through a review of contemporary political philosophy debates on social justice, this paper shows that critical theory today has the big challenge of addressing the various forms of injustice in the same interpretative framework. Consequently, it is proposed to restructure the four major issues identified in two irreducible dimensions of justice: redistribution and recognition. Based on a reconceptualization of the "who" of justice, the second dimension, the recognition, besides gender issues comprises the treatment of people with different physical and mental abilities, as well as transnational conflicts. This interpretative framework illustrates the scope and limitations of the category of gender as an analytical tool of injustice, violence, oppression and discrimination present in society today.

Palabras clave : justice; recognition; gender; redistribution.
