Gender violence is a global social problem. Although in Ecuador there have been achievements in recent decades, this phenomenon persists and tends to increase. This contrasts with the progressive approval of regulations aimed at ending this social problem and responding to the victims. It is relevant, therefore, to analyze the implementation of public policies, in the specific case of the city of Guayaquil, through the documentary review of the investigative, normative and strategic background, as a part of the objectives of a doctoral thesis that is on investigative process1. For this, the data that indicate the problem magnitude were interpreted and the behavior of the elements that influence its solution was studied. The results showed deficiencies and non-compliance with the legislation and lack of attention to the problem by the responsible institutions. As a conclusion, the need for the conscious application of the provisions, the operation of the System and its instruments, the allocation of the necessary budget and above all, increase the prevention work and the initiative to adopt practical solutions at the level of the autonomous government of the territory.

O  presente artigo articula dois fenômenos aparentemente  distintos, o Urbicídio e o Juvenicídio, enquanto expressões da crise estrutural do capital., que se agrava no Brasil e nos demais países dependentes no atual quadro. A cidade é palco de um modelo neoliberal que segrega a classe trabalhadora dos direitos acessados nos grandes centros urbanos, sendo as periferias desprovidas de equipamentos públicos. As juventudes, mesmo que legalmente reconhecidas comosujeito de direitos, são vítimas da  ausência  de políticas sociais, principalmente nas periferias, territórios violados pelo Estado Penal. As políticas públicas até então constituídas promovem ações limitadas focadas no recrutamento de jovens no mercado de trabalho desassociadas de políticas públicas de proteção social básica, cada vez mais precarizadas. No entanto, as juventudes, plenas de potencialidades, podem protagonizar movimentos de resistência a este projeto societário, que exclui, encarcera e mata.Palavras-Chave: Juventudes, Território, Juvenicídio, Urbicídio THE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN: Urbicide and Youthicide in Brasilian Reality.Abstract: The present article discuss two apparently distinct phenomena, Urbicide and Youthicide, as expressions of the structural crisis of capital, which is aggravated in Brazil and in the other dependent countries in the present conjuncture. The city is the stage of a neoliberal model that segregates the  working class, without right to the city  and  the social services.The youth, even if legally recognized as subject of rights, are victims of the absence of social policies, mainly in the peripheries, territories violated by the Criminal State. The public policies e promote limited actions focused on the recruitment of young people in the labor market disassociated with public policies of basic social protection, increasingly precarized. However, youths, full of potentialities, can carry out resistance movements to this project which excludes, imprisons and kills.Keywords: Youth,Territory,Youthcide, Urbicide

ABSTRACTThis essay examines a body of films that represent and re-enact the infamous 1964 Catherine Genovese rape and murder, helping to define the crime as a problem of bystander non-intervention exacerbated by urban living conditions and the ‘high rise anxieties’ of apartment dwellers. The moving image culture around the Genovese case tells a story about male violence against women in the city through the perspective of urban apartment dwellers, who are portrayed as bystander witnesses to both the city and to the social relations of stranger sociability in the city. Films depict the killing of Kitty Genovese, sometimes through fictional analogues to her and the crime, as an outcome of failed witnessing, explicating those failures around changing ideas about urban social relations between strangers, and ways of surveilling the city street from apartment windows. By portraying urban bystanders as primarily non-interventionist spectators of the Genovese rape and murder, films locate the conditions of femicide and responsibility for it in detached modes of seeing and encountering strangers. By analysing film as forms of historic documentation and imagination, as artifacts of historically and contextually different ways of telling and revising the story of the Genovese murder as one of bystander non-intervention in gender violence in the city, the essay conceptualizes film and filmic re-enactments as a mode of paying witness to the past.

Food Movement

In the aftermath of the economic crisis in the city of Madrid, food geography transformed. The urban unemployed began to engage in agriculture in periurban areas, creating new alliances between producers and consumers. Over a period of 15 years the alternative food movement organized on the fringe gave way to agroecological civic platforms that are highly assertive, and a dialogue with political institutions has opened. A key moment in the advance of this proactive attitude came about in the municipal elections of May 2015. Activists ascended to positions of political power and the backdrop of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, created an opportunity for the food movement to move from protest to program, and public policies permeated by agroecological principles.

Resumen La violencia de género se ha caracterizado como un problema social en el marco de un sistema de relaciones de dominación del hombre sobre la mujer, que genera como consecuencia un daño físico, sexual o psicológico, a través de acciones que causan sufrimiento. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar desde la perspectiva teórica la violencia de género en Latinoamérica, considerando las modalidades de ejecución, las estrategias empleadas para su prevención y erradicación a fin de generar fundamentaciones basadas en publicaciones recientes. La metodología base fue la revisión bibliográfica, crítica, y documental. Se recurrió al método descriptivo-argumentativo. Para la recolección de la información se utilizaron las bases de datos: Latindex, Redalyc, Scielo, Scopus, y Dialnet. La violencia de género históricamente se ha relacionado con la mujer afectándola en distintos ámbitos, económicos, políticos, sociales, culturales. Las legislaciones nacionales y sus estrategias para la prevención y erradicación tienen origen en las normas internacionales, no obstante, a pesar de los esfuerzos realizados se evidencian reportes de cifras alarmantes que demuestran debilidades en la implementación o ejecución de procedimientos adoptados en la región para aplicar la normativa vigente que garantiza y protege los derechos de la mujer a vivir una vida libre de violencia. Abstract Gender violence has been characterized as a social problem within the framework of a system of relations of domination of men over women, which consequently generates physical, sexual or psychological damage, through actions that cause suffering. The objective of this study was to analyze gender violence in Latin America from a theoretical perspective, considering the execution modalities, the strategies used for its prevention and eradication in order to generate foundations based on recent publications. The base methodology was the bibliographic, critical, and documentary review. The descriptive-argumentative method was used. To collect the information, the following databases were used: Latindex, Redalyc, Scielo, Scopus, and Dialnet. Gender violence has historically been related to women, affecting them in different areas, economic, political, social, cultural. National laws and their strategies for prevention and eradication are based on international standards, however, despite the efforts made, reports of alarming figures are evidenced that show weaknesses in the implementation or execution of procedures adopted in the region to apply the current regulations that guarantee and protect the rights of women to live a life free of violence.
