BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS / Šturma, Mozetic (eds)

Santa Catarina law, which, following the example of Argentina and Venezuela, 5 acting in an insightful way, sought to carry out measures of information and protection to pregnant women and parturient women within the limits of the state. Finally, it is sought, from the perspective of the constant process of (re)construction of human rights, to verify whether the law of Santa Catarina, as a regional system for the protection of women’s human’s rights, especially pregnant and parturient, can be considered a Mechanism of effectiveness of these rights protected through this affirmative action and which consequences generates to the healthcare business. 2. Contextualization of Women’s Rights – Human Rights; Dignity of the Human Person and Specific Rights of Women The conceptualization of human rights involves much more than just definitions per se , but requires a substantial analysis of formulations that effectively construct and define the ideals and protections of these rights. This intrinsic problem occurs, at first, for three reasons, because these categories possess values that alternate in time and space; in addition, they translate rights that are conferred on human beings by virtue of their characteristic, since they stem from the simple fact of being human and therefore are universal; finally, by the fact that human rights are indispensable for individuals to enjoy a dignified life. 6 The fact is that because rights are born in certain circumstances, notably originated in struggles and protection of new freedoms, they emerge progressively and possess a high degree of mutation according to historical conditions, interests, and transformations of society, 7 and, in a concise manner, translate the ethical values whose objective is the protection and achievement of human dignity. Thus, human rights “have in the dignity of the human person the core element of their formation”, 8 which, although there is no consensus in its definition, 9 can be conceptualized as a complex of fundamental rights and duties that assure the person protection against degrading and inhuman acts, as well as minimum conditions of subsistence, and also active and co-responsible participation in his own life and in communion with other individuals. 10 5 DINIZ, S.G. et al.
