| Summary: | The notion of capability, introduced into social and economic sciences by Amartya Sen, questions the power of action in terms of the real freedom of individuals and of collective responsibility. The authors pass in review some of the bases of a capability-based approach in order to sketch out a reflection on its pertinence in the struggle against inequality between women and men. In particular, they emphasise that the development of certain plans of action in the perspective of positive freedom is not against the principle of negative freedom.These plans of action allow for the improvement of capabilities that are within the reach of women and of men, and appear to offer one possible solution in the ‘conflict of cooperation’ which characterises the social relationships of the sexes within society.
