With the signature of its five members, the Supreme Court sent a note to the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta,
declining the possibility of implementing training on gender issues
raised by the
Micaela Law
, the norm that obliges officials to become aware of the problems of diversity and the disadvantage of women with respect to relevant parameters of society.
The Court's argument is that the court itself has already implemented training on these issues on its own initiative.
"In the area of the Supreme Court of Justice and the Judicial Branch of the Nation, awareness-raising and training activities in relation to Law 27,499 are carried out by the Office of Women through the Gender Perspective Workshop and the other workshops and activities designed by said agency, "says the note accessed by
Clarín
, in which the Court responds to the ministry's invitation.
On September 25, a crossing had been generated by the application of that law between the President and the Court.
In an act, Alberto Fernández said that day: "The Micaela law rebuilds us to understand the harmful effects of gender violence. I see with provocation that in the federal state, two of the three branches (Executive and Legislative) have made progress in implementing that law, but in the Judiciary we have asked the President of the Court (Carlos Rosenkrantz) to please deal with the issue and we only received silence. "
A few hours later, the Court came to answer him with a text.
"Since 2010, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation has led the training on Gender Perspective in the Judicial Power," they remarked through a statement prepared by Judge Elena Inés Highton de Nolasco.
The highest court recalled that in the field of Justice these steps began in 2009, when the Office for Women (OM) was created through the agreed 13. The area was in charge of
Carmen Argibay
until her death and is now led by Highton by Nolasco.
