International human rights treaties and monitoring bodies have repeatedly called upon governments to develop national plans of action to eliminate violence against women. Although the U.S. is a global leader in the violence against women arena, it has never developed a national plan of action. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), despite its substantial contributions, does not contain some of the core features of a national action plan—such as a strategic vision for ending violence against women, or a declaration that violence against women is a human rights violation and a form of sex discrimination, or a set of goals or benchmarks to measure progress. This chapter examines the key elements of national action plans on violence against women, and ultimately argues that in the Trump era, a national action plan can best be developed through coordinated action at the state and local levels.

Resumen: Como resultado de una revisión de los fallosproferidos por los juzgados municipales, los juzgadosde circuito y la Sala Penal del Tribunal Superior delDistrito Judicial de Pasto, entre los años 2005 y 2011,en relación con los delitos de violencia cometidos contramujeres, fue posible establecer que las principales formasde agresión contra la mujer se enmarcan dentro delos delitos de acceso carnal violento, actos sexuales yacceso carnal abusivo con menor de 14 años, homicidio,violencia intrafamiliar y lesiones personales. La parejao ex pareja sentimental de las mujeres, se constituye enuno de los principales victimarios en estos casos, aunqueresulta alarmante el alto porcentaje de episodios en losque el agresor forma parte del grupo familiar de la víctima,especialmente aquellos tan cercanos en grado deconsanguinidad como lo es el padre, el abuelo, el tío o elhijo. Causa gran preocupación el tiempo trascurrido entrela ocurrencia de los hechos y la fecha del fallo, situaciónque en muchos casos supera los siete años. Además,en la mayoría de administradores de justicia pervivenformas patriarcales de entender los roles de hombres ymujeres en la vida social, lo que se manifiesta en unajusticia comprensiva de la violencia masculina y condenatoriade los roles femeninos no tradicionales.Palabras clave: justicia, género, violencia, mujeres, NariñoJustice and Gender in Nariño in Cases of Violenceagainst WomenAbstract: Following a review of the judgments handeddown by the municipal courts, circuit courts and theCriminal Division of the Superior Court of the JudicialDistrict of Pasto, between 2005 and 2011, in relationto crimes of violence against women, it was possibleto establish that the most common forms of aggressionagainst women were violent carnal acts, sexual and abusivecarnal acts with girls under 14 years of age, homicide,family violence and personal lesions. The woman’spartner or ex-partner is one of the most common aggressors,although it is alarming that in high percentagesof cases the aggressor is a member of the family, especiallyfathers, grandfathers, uncles and sons. It is alsoworrisome that the time lapse between the occurrenceof the facts and the sentence given was in many casesmore than seven years. Additionally, most administratorsof justice exhibit patriarchal ways of understanding theroles of men and women in society, which is manifestedin judicial leniency toward male violence and condemnationof non-traditional female roles.Keywords: justice, gender, violence, women, Nariño

Consequences Of Violence

This chapter outlines the global problem, prevalence, causes, and consequences of violence against women. Women worldwide face special risks from the beginning to the end of the life-cycle: from female feticide to female genital mutilation/circumcision in infancy, from child abuse to honor violence and forced marriage at puberty, from sexual assault to femicide in adolescence and youth, forced labor and battering in adulthood, and targeted killing of witches and widows in old age. Violence against women is the most pervasive unfinished business of the international human rights regime, and a threat to global security, development, and public health. We will see that gender violence arises as a violation of human rights with special logics, and a growing contradiction of development and globalization. The cross-national risk factors for physical insecurity of women worldwide include conflicted development, shortfalls in democracy, social inequality, uneven urbanization, and gender role disparity. These factors play out in specific “gender regime” configurations of governance, political economy, and gender roles that fall into patrimonial, semi-liberal, and liberal patterns that suggest distinct strategies of intervention.

All Our Trials: Prisons, Policing, and the Feminist Fight to End Violence is a history of grassroots activism by, for, and about incarcerated domestic violence survivors, criminalized rape resisters, and dissident women prisoners in the 1970s and early 1980s. Across the country, in and outside of prisons, radical women participated in collective actions that insisted on the interconnections between interpersonal violence against women and the racial and gender violence of policing and imprisonment. These organizing efforts generated an anticarceral feminist politics that was defined by a critique of state violence; an understanding of race, gender, class, and sexuality as mutually constructed systems of power and meaning; and a practice of coalition-based organizing. Drawing on an array of archival sources as well as first-person narratives, the book traces the political activities, ideas, and influence of this activist current. All Our Trials demonstrates how it shaped broader debates about the root causes of and remedies for violence against women as well as played a decisive role in the making of a prison abolition movement.

Abstract.BELIEFS OF ROMANTIC LOVE AND GENDER VIOLENCEAlthough we have an active public policy to achieve equality between the sexes, inequality persists and when we talk about ‘love’ imbalances and differences increase. Investigations today, explore elements of socialization connected to violence against women in the couple, and ‘love’ seems to be on the scene. A qualitative study, with the technique of groups of discussion, is proposed, whose objectives are: to know the ‘styles of love’ that the boys and the girls assume and to investigate the acceptance that they make of the beliefs about the ‘true love’, as well How to analyze the influence of gender training. A Gender Training that promotes and facilitates the process of developing ‘gender awareness’. The results show that the university students reflect the same beliefs as the rest of the youngsters, and it is observed that after the formation in gender appear greater changes in the beliefs and attitudes of the girls than of the boys. It is important to evaluate the formative actions in gender, since their results can open new paths of action in the teaching-learning processes, as well as helping the sectors involved in this complex social and health problem.Keywords: Gender training; higher education; romantic love; gender violence; prevention.Resumen.A pesar de que contamos con una política pública activa para conseguir la igualdad entre los sexos, la desigualdad persiste y cuando hablamos de ‘amor’ los desequilibrios y diferencias aumentan. Investigaciones en la actualidad, exploran elementos de la socialización conectados a la violencia contra las mujeres en la pareja, y el ‘amor’ parece encontrarse en escena. En esta comunicación se plantea un estudio cualitativo, con la técnica de grupos de discusión, y cuyos objetivos son: conocer los ‘estilos de amor’ que asumen los chicos y las chicas e indagar su aceptación de las creencias sobre el ‘amor verdadero’, así como analizar la influencia de la formación en género. Una Formación en Género que promueva y facilite el proceso de desarrollo de ‘conciencia de género’. Los resultados muestran que el alumnado universitario refleja las mismas creencias que el resto de jóvenes, y se observa que tras la formación en género aparecen mayores cambios en las creencias y actitudes de las chicas que de los chicos. Es importante evaluar las acciones formativas en género, ya que sus resultados pueden abrir nuevos caminos de acción en los procesos de enseñanzaaprendizaje, así como ayudar a los sectores implicados en este complejo problema social y de salud.Palabras claves: Formación en género; educación superior; amor romántico; violencia de género; prevención.

This paper, based on broader discussions surrounding gender violence and immigration in the U.S., provides critical information on the historical context of extreme violence against women and femicide plaguing Central American societies today. Drawing on experiences of precedent setting cases of Guatemalan women, the authors offer suggestions for culturally specific treatment of and support for women who seek asylum in the U.S. out of justified fear for their and their family members’ lives should they return to their country of origin. The arguments presented are predicated on the belief that women worldwide share experiences of myriad forms of male domination and gender inequality which, however, play out differently on their bodies and lives in ways that must be accounted for in our attempt to offer them appropriate care and assist them in creating the tools they need to change their circumstances.
