Abstract Chile is living a constitutional moment, and the achievement of parity democracy might be part of it. The constitutional roadmap includes a plebiscite where citizens will decide whether they want a new constitution. The plebiscite was to be held in April 2020 but, due to the COVID-19 emergency, it had to be rescheduled to take place in October this year. If the option for a new constitution wins, a constituent body must be elected. To ensure parity in that election, a group of feminist political scientists and a cross-party alliance of women deputies drafted a parity bill that was approved by the Chamber of Deputies in December 2019, and is now being discussed in the Senate. If the bill is passed in its current terms, the new Chilean Constitution will be the first constitution ever written by an equal number of men and women.

缔造宪法时刻：智利制宪会议对平等的追求

摘要 智利正处于宪政时期，实现平等民主可能是其中的一部分。宪法路线图包括公民投票，公民将决定他们是否想要一部新宪法。公民投票原定于 2020 年 4 月举行，但由于 COVID-19 紧急情况，它不得不重新安排在今年 10 月举行。如果新宪法的选择获胜，则必须选举一个组成机构。为确保选举中的平等，一群女权主义政治科学家和一个跨党派的女议员联盟起草了一项平等法案，该法案于 2019 年 12 月获得众议院批准，目前正在参议院进行讨论。如果该法案以目前的条款获得通过，新的智利宪法将成为有史以来第一部男女人数相等的宪法。
