Summary: | The article recognizes the right to a life free of gender violence and from there denounces the patriarchal dimension of law which is found with the maintenance of the sexual contract. To overcome that situation it is necessary to break that covenant and it is essential to denounce gender violence. But the complaint is not enough if you don't have effective mechanisms for protection and guarantee of rights. And for this the development of public policy awareness, prevention, detection, training, etc., is essential. Especially when the data show how the economic crisis and cuts in budgetary allocations to addressing such violence have led to a stagnation (if not reverse) in their treatment. And talking about stagnation or decline in this area is very serious because it would mean that legal and political subjectivity of women is conditioned and is at the mercy of political decisions and economic circumstances. |
