Gender inequality continues to be a social and cultural phenomenon that affects a multitude of women, moving into all its spheres such as the field of health and, as a consequence, the processes of health and disease. We know that there are stereotypes and roles that are directly related to women, since if we analyse statistics on the care of children, the elderly or dependent people, we always see that are women who take care of them almost exclusively. Gender stereotypes have been and continue to be a condition for the development of people, mainly women, who have been almost reduced to the domestic space, limiting their professional and personal possibilities. In the health field, inequalities and discrimination against women drove the birth of Feminist Bioethics. These bioethics advocates not only for the fundamental principles of Charity, non-maleficence principle, Autonomy and Justice, but also highlights the need to begin to identify other principles such as caring. For Feminist Bioethics, Autonomy continues to be the fundamental principle by which we are governed by assistance practice but, in addition, it emphasizes Justice, responsibility and ideological elements, given that the latter are of very important in decision making. Currently, it has been shown how the classical liberal model has shortcomings to give answers to social plurality and, in addition, the patriarchal dominance, what it manages to do is to weaken the fundamental principles and, as a consequence, the opportunities of women, where fundamental rights such as health are affected.

Finally, and from my point of view, Feminist Bioethics seeks to try to change social organization and to think about health and its care in a way that allows patients to have a more active role in their health pro-cess, avoiding oppressive practices and institutions, since they raise barriers based on gender, in addition to trying to orient towards a more civic, social and political vision, I understand health promotion in terms of development and social responsibility.
