OLMOS DE LA TORRE, Francisco Alejandro. Equality and affirmative actions: The case of priority access to the Child Care and Attention Centers of Mexico City (CACI). Cuest. Const. [online]. 2021, n.44, pp.383-393.  Epub 21-Ene-2022. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2021.44.16169.

This comment criticizes the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation decision, taken in the “acción de inconstitucionalidad” 215/2020, of rejecting a formal argument of equality, which implies the inclusion of men, in an affirmative action in favor only of women. Except for the ponent, the justices considered that this approach even made the problem of women invisible and strengthened the “macho” culture. Two visions of equality seem to conflict: one formal and the other structural. From a conciliatory point of view, the author tries to expose the reasonableness of the formal equality approach, arguing why it does not compromise women, as a socially excluded group, in this case.

Palabras llave : affirmative actions; women; constitutionality; formal equality; structural equality; infra-inclusiveness; over-inclusiveness; equality test.
