Resumo: Using evidence from Mexico, this article analyzes the problem of women’s subjective appropriation of rights within the framework of new laws about gender equality and legislation against gender-based violence. Although we found evidence that supports an incipient social transformation, from a culture of traditional feminine virtues to a culture of rights, there are still many obstacles that prevent women’s full embracement of a culture of rights. At the individual level, women experience a contradiction between claiming their individual rights (having a life free of violence) or keeping their social value and recognition (based on prescribed gender roles).

Si bien se observa una incipiente transformación de una cultura de las virtudes femeninas tradicionales en una cultura de derechos emancipatoria, existen aún muchos obstáculos para una tal apropiación. Se trata del conflicto entre normatividades, en particular, las normas sociales que guían el ejercicio de rol de género y, vinculado al mismo, la valoración social a nivel intersubjetivo y, por otro lado, las normas jurídicas que regulan el derecho a una vida libre de violencia, como una prerrogativa individual.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2009-12-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/689910.15448/1984-7289.2009.3.6899Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 9 No. 3 (2009): Recogniton and social theory; 402-417Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 9 Núm. 3 (2009): Reconhecimento e teoria social; 402-417Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 9 n. 3 (2009): Reconhecimento e teoria social; 402-4171984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2009.3reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
