SEXUAL DIVISION OF LABOUR IN THE CRIME OF DRUG TRAFFICKING

This article is a cut from the course work of the course of law and aims to make a comparison between the patriarchal society through the sexual division of labor and its reflection in the world of crime by analyzing and criticizing the increasing female Imprisonment, mainly for the crime of drug trafficking. Through the hypothetical deductive method, we sought to address the feminist movement and how it contributed to the differentiation between sex and gender. Subsequently, it dealt with the sexual division of labor, which determines differentiated roles for men and women. Finally, it brought to light the reproduction of the gender hierarchy in the crime of drug trafficking and how it contributes to the increase in the incarceration of women. In addition, it is intended to show how the law is flawed and the exaggerated penalty in its application to these inmates.
