Violence against women today
Introduction
Violence against women has long been produced in various ways, according to the National Plan against Gender Violence (2016-2021) indicates that there are more than 16 modalities of violence, of these modalities that group more victims is violencePsychological, physical, verbal, etc. When talking about psychological violence there is an attack that usually has as a purpose to subjugate the woman causing it to feel inferior in every way. A type of violence with more controversy is physics, since it attacks directly with the victim’s body. Commonly verbal violence goes unnoticed how they generate equally painful sensations as the other types of violence.
Developing
I consider that in the face of these types of violence we must take an increasingly active position in favor of change, thus leaning for the benefit of the victims, since these are the most affected. Violence against women has been present over time, at present it has been given the importance it deserves and this is remarkable by appreciating the creation of various organizations, programs for help and implementation of laws that seek to prevent and eradicate thisproblem;This issue is no stranger to developed countries, since there is also.
However, it has been shown that it occurs in less intensity due to various social processes together with the gender connections that produced economic development, including the increase in women’s space in the labor field and a greater number of women withaccess to education. Violence in the family environment is present worldwide, so it has been given a first degree concern. We can see that over time it has been taking a more active position and this has noted significantly to reduce the various types of violence that arise.
We have the 40/36 resolution, of November 29, 1985 “Violence at home” of the United Nations General Assembly;where it is clearly shown that violence in the family nucleus was ‘a critical problem with serious physical and psychological consequences for its members, and that endangers the health and survival of the family unit’. In 1993 the United Nations General Assembly approved in Vienna the declaration on the elimination of violence against women, which in its art. 1 Defines violence as «any act based on belonging to the female sex that causes or is likely to cause women physical, sexual or psychological damage or suffering.
And includes threats of such acts and the restriction or arbitrary deprivation of freedom, both in public and private life ». Taking these two models in accounts, the remarkable change that has arisen to the present. Gender violence is a type of behavior in which the use of physical strength is persistently shown as an aggression, psychological violence, intimidation or persecution by the aggressor.
One of the most common modalities of violence is that of psychological violence that results in serious emotional damage. Psychic abuse usually follows a strategy that attacks three basic aspects: a social attack that triesof violence, since one could say that they lead to a brainwashing by the aggressor which would produce that the victim is not aware of what happens, since it is not as noticeable as physical violence, so even on several occasionsIt is minimized.
It is a problem to determine what types of behaviors are subject to determine a criminal sanction because not all behaviors that are generated by the aggressors make up a mistreatment which can be considered as a crime. Therefore, three different positions are presented: for a doctrinal sector, the term psychic violence must include the acts that endanger the victim’s mental health;This includes insults, threats, etc. Along these lines, defended not only by authors of law, but subtle mechanisms, "micromachisms", used by aggressors in a regular basis that also have an effect of psychology or social work.
Bonino is placed, pointing out that there are a series of devastating about his victims. For the sector opposed to the doctrinal sector, psychic violence must have a restrictive character that separates those actions that are not relevant from criminal typification, despite the fact that society can reject them. A third intermediate posture, represented by Del Moral García, points out that we must seek a balance between this wide term, which is clear is that the occurrence of effective psychic damage is not necessary, because they consider that it is sufficient toendanger the victim’s health so that behavior can be considered as criminal violence.
I consider that of these three points of view the most relevant and that completeIt does not proceed cautiously to stop and eradicate the acts of violence they will continue to increase and thus charge more victims. If we analyze the different cultural factors, particular practices are revealed in which certain customs that were not considered punishable are revealed, on the contrary, they were encouraged and accepted by society.
As the difference in unequal power between men and women either in work, economic, political, etc. A particular case would be in how the phenomenon of patriarchy connotes the situation that referred to man as the center of the family, and as this was the one who contributed economic sustenance, controlled a dominant role with respect to others, so that little by little the types of violence both implicitly and explicitly were revealed;At present, society no longer conceives as natural cases of aggression. In Buompadre’s words, not all violence against a woman is gender violence.
Because, it is not an issue that must be elucidated by the sole circumstance of the existence of a position of physical superiority between men and women, but a situation of timeless discrimination that has its origin in a social structure of a patriarchal nature’. We will channel the sense of prohibition only in the face of "a context of male domination". From the above by Buompadre we noticed its position by wanting to make a notation with respect to whether the violence of women is produced by its gender or if there are other variations.
conclusion
Every time a rule is exposed that modifies or complements the Criminal Code in favor of violence, a large number of criticism arises that are usually negative;However, if a positive attitude is taken and the benefits it brings could be considered, we could reduce the various acts of violence that are currently produced day by day. Due to the existence of different types of violence between these psychological, physical and verbal with various variables of influence and impact on each one, the position we take in the face of this situation is relevant since this will achieve great changes, as well as the degree ofacceptance that occurs to the new laws that come out for the benefit of women victim of violence.
