Abstract
This article examines the concept of strategic litigation in Latin America over the past two decades from a theoretical and practical learning which explores and challenges of that period. The proposal takes as its starting point the inter- pretation of the concept of strategic litigation by civil society organizations and universities through the clinical teaching and activities with social projection and it ends with a deepening in three areas of paramount importance for the future of the human rights in the continent: women ́s rights and human being environmental and ethnic rights in Latin America.
