Contextualization

Citizenship is a fundamental concept for life in society. It encompasses not only the rights of individuals but also the duties that each person has towards the community. Throughout history, the conquest of rights has been a hard and continuous process, involving struggles and social movements. Today, the full exercise of citizenship is essential for building a more just and egalitarian society.
