VALENZUELA OYANEDER, Cecilia  y  VILLAVICENCIO MIRANDA, Luis. The constitutionalization of sexual and reproductive rights: Towards an equal citizenship for women. Ius et Praxis [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.1, pp.271-314. ISSN 0718-0012.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-00122015000100008.

In this article we propose, first, to contextualize the lack of women membership to the constitutional community, specifically with regard to the exercise of their sexual and reproductive rights and abortion rights, analyzing the connection (or inconnection) that comparative jurisprudence has drawn between the right to abortion and the constitutional right to equality and dignity. Second, from a feminist perspective, we will construct an argument, based on the capability approach, to justify the constitutionalization of the mentioned sexual and reproductive rights.

Palabras clave : Constitution; Women; Sexual and reproductive rights; Feminism; Equality.
