This article reviews the concept of gender and its importance for the study of society and politics. Gender is a sociocultural concept that refers to the identity, roles, characteristics, and opportunities of people based on the social system and institutions. Here, we raise the need to reconfigure the participatory dimension of democracy based on gender, as well as proposing a conception of politics from the public and citizen action of women and men as social and sexual beings, and agents of change and social and political justice.
