The human right to cultural identity of migrant women – from a gender perspective – and its incorporation in Chile

In this article we affirm recognition of the human right to cultural identity of migrant women in Chilean Law, considering its justification and standards developed in International Human Rights Law. To do this, we review, from a gender perspective, its sources, applicable international jurisprudence, and the incorporation of this international standard in the Chilean legal sys-tem, considering the jurisprudential criteria issued by the highest courts of the country. The results are presented in two parts: (i) Review of international law – Universal System and Inter-American Human Rights System – applicable in the recognition of the right to cultural identity of migrant women; (ii) Review of applicable Chilean law in the recognition of the right to cultural identity of migrant women. The methodology used is dogmatic study of normative sour-ces, bibliographic review and jurisprudential verification. © 2022, Catholic University of Temuco Faculty of Law Economics and Administrative Sciences.
