gender inequalities, socio-cultural or economic that affect them, but also assimilated to all temporary legislative and administrative actions, consistent with the purpose of remedying situations of disadvantage or exclusion and discrimination of a group, in some aspect of their life.(Greenwalt, 1983). 1 (pastor murillo, las medidas de acción afirmativa o medidas especiales: para reparar las injusticias históricas y la discriminación) – Alfonso Ruiz, Miguel (1994 77-83 discriminación inversa o igualdad.
