Vol. 2 (2013): Debates y prácticas en torno a la violencia de género
The violence that is exercised by virtue of sex, gender, sexual option of a person is one of the most denigrating and insidious violations of human rights, because it implies invisibility, exclusion, vulnerability, marginalization, beatings, death. However, it is the most widespread violence in our contemporary Iberic and Latin American societies because it is naturalized in the social imaginary and therefore it not seen or perceived as such. In its different manifestations - physical, sexual, psychological, economic, symbolic, etc. - this type of violence is one of the expressions of the unequal power relations that culturally and historically structure phallocentric, androcentric, heteronormative societies.
This issue presents works that address the problem of gender violence from four approaches: theoretical insights, empirical research, practices of social and community intervention, and political activism.
