Central Bank of Argentina issued new regulation to prevent stereotyping in the financial sector
On November 12, 2020, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic issued Communication “A” 7162, which established that financial institutions should avoid practices or actions that reflect or promote stereotyped and hierarchical views of gender, androcentrism, sexist language, media-related and/or symbolic violence against women and LGBTTIQ+ people. Among other things, advertisements must avoid male patronizing behavior (mansplaining), using images of women as a mere object unrelated to the product it is intended to promote or associated with stereotyped behaviors, or reproducing homophobic, lesbophobic and transphobic messages.
Our partner, Paula Fernández Pfizenmaier, published an article about the recent regulation on the Global Lawyers Advertisement Alliance blog.
