摘要: | 近年來,婦女權利逐漸受到重視,性別平等的議題已經受到全世界的關注,女性不再是傳統歷史上的弱勢代名詞,其權利應當受到與男性相當的平等維護。
若欲破除其於歷史結構上的失衡狀態,即必須優先釐清性別實質平等之概念。
然尋求真正適切的性別平等概念並非一蹴可幾,為了理解國際趨勢,本文將統整與此概念最具實質相關性、我國於2012年亦將之內國法化的消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約(CEDAW),及我國擁有最高拘束力的大法官相關於性別實質平等之解釋,從中做出比對與歸納,並分析CEDAW特有的暫行特別措施規定,用以謀求既符合國際潮流又適切於我國社會的性別實質平等概念。
而在釐清婦女保障所追求之目的後,本文將延伸探究我國法律中較少見的暫行特別措施,並以我國法律中,與其概念最具相似性質的「婦女參政保障名額」作為討論中心,期能藉由婦女參政權保障的介紹與探究,有效運用從CEDAW與大法官解釋所求得的性別實質平等概念,檢視其制度在我國社會現實下的定位及合理性,進而對我國未來婦女參政權之保障做出實質上的建議。
最後,本文也將利用此一機會重新審視性別平權的理念與願景,配合性別主流化政策與近期聯合國婦女署推行的HeForShe思維,期待能夠透過本文的探討,對於國內性別實質平等的締造多一份助力。
In recent years, women's rights and gender equality issues have attracted attention worldwide. Women are no longer a "Socially vulnerable group". Their rights should be substantively equal to men's rights. If we need to get rid of the historically unbalanced structure between the rights of men and women, we must examine which existing Gender Equality concept is the most appropriate for our society.
However, it is impossible to find the appropriate concept for our society overnight. In order to understand international trends, this article will combine the CEDAW, which is the most relevance document to this concept and was internalized into the law system in our country at 2012, and J.Y. Interpretation, which is of the highest legal status in our country. We will compare the two concepts relating gender substantive equality, and analyze unique affirmative action in CEDAW in order to seek for the gender equality concept which is not only in compliance with international trends but also fits our society.
Moreover, this article will explore "affirmative action", which is a new and relatively unfamiliar concept to our law system. So far in our country, only "Female Politics Reserved Seats Systems" is similar to the concept. Therefore, we will discuss the concept, and hope that through introduction and exploration of women's suffrage protection, the concept of gender equality which is combined from CEDAW and J.Y. Interpretation, can be put into action in our society. In addition, we also make an effort to review the concept’s feasibility in our society hoping it may help us make some useful proposals for our women's suffrage safeguards systems.
Finally, we will also use this opportunity to re-examine the concept and prospect of gender equality by viewing mainstreaming gender policies and the "HeForShe" campaign, which is promoted by UN Women recently. We hope this article can be helpful for our country to achieve substantive gender equality. |
