Resumen. Las violencias machistas son un problema global de primer orden. Sus mani­festaciones son muy diversas y deben tratarse como un problema intersectorial, ya que influye en sus distintos grados de opresión las diferencias étnicas, de clase o de nivel sociocultural. Son innumerables los instrumentos legales que se han promulgado para su erradicación pero sin mejorar en gran medida las cifras de violencia a nivel mundial. En parte debido a que se ha olvidado en muchas ocasiones contar con las propias voces y experiencias de las mujeres que han sufrido estas experiencias y se ha caído en falsos paternalismos en su regulación y en otra parte porque algunas de sus manifestaciones se realizan en espacios privados y quedan invisibilizadas, especialmente las agresiones sexuales dentro del matrimonio. La presente co­municación se refiere a una investigación llevada a cabo en una isla de Kenia llamada Lamu donde se desarrollan distintos proyectos de empoderamiento social y económico de las mu­jeres indígenas. En la misma se trata de conocer el grado de conocimiento y legitimación de la legislación contra las violencias machistas, las barreras en el proceso judicial y la diversidad existente según la etnia, la religión o el nivel socio-cultural, así como las estrategias de resil­iencia de las propias mujeres frente a estas violencias. Se realiza desde un marco metodológico cualitativo donde la pieza clave son las entrevistas en profundidad a las propias mujeres in­dígenas. De la misma sacaremos, entre otras conclusiones, que cuando el proceso judicial de divorcio y el de denuncia de violencia sexual son independientes, ante la falta de capacidad económica, se abandona el segundo.Palabras clave: violencias machistas, violencia sexual, resiliencia, denuncia.Abstract. The Gender Violence is a global problem of the first order. Their manifesta­tions are very diverse and should be treated as an inter-sectorial problem, since ethnic, class or socio-cultural differences influence their different degrees of oppression. There are in­numerable legal instruments that have been promulgated for their eradication but without greatly improving the figures. Partly because it has been forgotten on many occasions to have the voices and experiences of women who have suffered these experiences and has fallen into false paternalism in its regulation and elsewhere because some of its manifestations are car­ried out in private spaces and remain invisible, especially sexual assaults within marriage. This communication refers to an investigation carried out in an island of Kenya called Lamu where different projects of social and economic empowerment of indigenous women are developed. It deals with knowing the degree of knowledge and legitimacy of the legislation against sexist violence, the barriers in the judicial process and the existing diversity according to ethnicity, religion or socio-cultural level, as well as resilience strategies of the women themselves in the face of these violence. It is carried out from a qualitative methodological framework where the key piece is the in-depth interviews with indigenous women themselves. From it we will draw, among other conclusions, that when the judicial process of divorce and that of sexual violence are independent, in the absence of economic capacity, the second is abandoned.Keywords: violence against women, sexual violence, resilience, report.

This chapter presents the interdisciplinary framework of the book and its core argument linking issues of racism and religion--particularly heteropatriarchal Christianity--in the cultural support for gender violence. It argues that the conjoined presence of religion, anti-black racism, and sexual violence against women in American history of slavery and colonialism compels a similarly transnational exploration of inspiration from Africana activists and scholars to address U.S. gender violence. A methodological overview describes the book’s theoretical foundations in feminist and womanist studies, and how tools of ethnography, anthropology, and Christian theo-ethics inform the its unconventional narrative approach. The U.S.-based analysis features snapshots of the author’s encounters with leaders and their contexts, not a broad survey or comparison of gender violence in Ghana, South Africa, and Brazil.

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

Resumen. Durante los últimos años, el concepto de terrorismo machista ha cobrado un importante protagonismo en los medios de comunicación como vía para informar de los crímenes cometidos en el ámbito de la ley de violencia de género, si bien dicho uso del término no ha venido acompañado de un análisis jurídico del mismo. Por otra parte, la emergencia de conceptos como femicidio y la concienciación social respecto a la vinculación de las agresiones sexuales con el patriarcado como sistema social de dominación ponen de manifiesto la necesi­dad de reconsiderar de qué forma se configura la violencia contra la mujer en el sistema penal actual. Desde una metodología analítica, esta investigación se propone analizar los fundamen­tos jurídicos para entender la violencia contra la mujer como una forma de terrorismo.Palabras clave: violencia de género, terrorismo, femicidio, feminicidio, género, terrorismo machista.Abstract. During the last years, the concept of sexist terrorism has gained presence in the media as a way to inform about the commission of crimes against women. However, the use of this concept lacks in providing a legal analysis. On the other side, the emergency of no­tions such as femicide and the social acknowledgement of sexual aggressions as a consequence of the patriarchy brings to light the need to redefine in which way those crimes are considered under the criminal law system. This research aims to analyze the legal founds in order to con­sider violence against women as a form of terrorism.Keywords: gender violence, terrorism, femicide, feminicide, gender, sexist terrorism.

Nosso objetivo neste artigo, a partir de entrevistas e netnografia, é mostrar-lhes que a partir do âmbito religioso emergem coletivos cujas as vozes dissonantes não compactuam com a subjugação feminina implementada pela religião e denunciam em ambientes virtuais a violência praticada contra a mulher em ambientes domésticos ou eclesiais. Além de trabalharem voluntariamente instruindo e acolhendo vítimas de violência, é importante destacar que as Feministas Evangélicas, por nós pesquisadas, lutam em favor da legalização do aborto, pois entendem que esta é uma questão de saúde pública. Porém, mesmo lutando em favor dos direitos femininos, elas são ameaçadas por indivíduos que possuem ethos familista e visão conservadora de mundo, pois estes entendem que elas querem destruir a família. Palavras-chave: Feminismo; religião; violência de gênero; política.   Abstract This article aims to present, through interviews and netnography, collectives that emerge from the religious sphere, where dissonant voices do not agree with the female subjugation implemented by religion who denounces in virtual environments the violence against women in environments domestic or ecclesial. Besides volunteer work, instructing, and supporting victims of violence, the Evangelical Feminists group fight for abortion legalization, as they understand it as a public health issue. However, even when fighting for women's rights, they are threatened by individuals who have a familist ethos and a conservative worldview because they understand that they want to destroy the family.

Además de trabajar voluntariamente en la instrucción y acogida de víctimas de violencia, es importante destacar que las Feministas Evangélicas que hemos investigado luchan por la legalización del aborto, pues entienden que este es un tema de salud pública.

In post-socialist Slovenia, the #MeToo campaign (#jaztudi), which was started by four public intellectuals in 2018, was rather different to its equivalent in most Western counties. The analysis of the #jaztudi campaign suggests that there are local specifics in the Slovenian material and that the campaign appeared at the peak of the era of neopatriarchy where global inequalities are on the rise. Hundreds of women who testified about sexual harassment and sexual violence were not celebrities and public figures. The men against whom they spoke up were not famous, rich and powerful. They disclosed ordinary, 'small' stories, which were far from spectacular. Women wrote about everyday sexual assaults in childhood, in their teens and in adulthood. The majority of them were not interested in taking legal action against the perpetrators, something which can partially be explained by the contexts of rurality, religious influences and the social norms related to sexual violence towards women that are reproduced in educational, judicial and other social systems. This article provides the social context of the situation facing women in Slovenia and attempts to explain why #MeToo campaigns in different countries are contextual. It shows the importance of locally specific factors that influence women’s readiness to speak out and to denounce perpetrators. A number of factors have a great impact on ending sexual violence against women, including the frequency of violence against women; women’s economic and social status; the responses of professionals in public institutions to which women could turn for help; as well as awareness on the part of parents, teachers and communities. The implementation of the Istanbul Convention, which Slovenia ratified in 2015, and its internalisation on both the cognitive and emotional levels, constitute an important historical turning point in the fight to end sexual violence.

OBJECTIVE: To reveal the meaning of violence in everyday female prostitution. METHOD: we used a phenomenological approach of Martin Heidegger. The survey was conducted in Teresina / Piauí / Brazil, with 11 women members of the Association of Prostitutes of Piaui. The data were produced by means of open interviews conducted by a script with questions regarding their experience as a prostitute and its relationship to violence. RESULTS: The reports indicate that it is prostitution a risky activity in which gender violence is a phenomenon present. In the relational world, prostitution and violence are intertwined in the face of negotiations established between women and men with formal contracts in the dark, verbally, without witnesses, and whose object of contract is the woman herself for the purpose of providing sexual pleasure to the contractor. Through interpretative analysis was possible to understand the lived violence leads women to remain in daily life where is this fear, inauthenticity and ambiguity. CONCLUSIONS: violence unveils lived relations of domination and assertion of male power, manifested by violence physical, psychological, moral and sexual. The study advances in scientific knowledge by showing that violence against women, in prostitution, must be understood as a process factual as well as the suffering experienced by them.

El papel de las gestoras culturales ha sido decisivo para llevar a la escena social temáticas que interesan a las mujeres y a la sociedad en su conjunto. Si bien la pandemia desatada por el SARS-CoV-2 ha planteado retos al quehacer cultural, diversas agrupaciones lideradas por mujeres encontraron un impulso inusitado en el incremento de la violencia de género que tuvo lugar en el país en el primer semestre de 2020. En este marco, los Observatorios de Políticas Culturales y Universitario de Violencias contra las Mujeres realizamos una aproximación analítica a la intensa actividad cultural que se generó en el estado de Veracruz, a propósito de eventos organizados por gestoras de Recultivar México, los cuales tenían como objetivo recuperar y fortalecer procesos que, desde la educación feminista fomentando los derechos culturales y humanos de las mujeres, pudiesen dar respuesta a la violencia feminicida agravada por el confinamiento. Women as cultural management during pandemic times. Feminist education against violenceWomen's role as cultural management has been critical in bringing up social issues relevant to women, as well as to society in its whole. While the pandemic brought upon by SARS-CoV-2 has raised challenges to cultural endeavours, many organizations led by women have found an unusual impulse in the increase of gender violence in the country during the first semester of 2020. In this panorama, as both the Observatory of Cultural Policies and the Academic Observatory of Violence against Women, we have taken upon ourselves to create an analytical approach to the significant cultural activity in the state of Veracruz which arises from different events organized by women from Recultivar México (Recultivating Mexico), whose objective is reclaiming and strenghthening processes that, within a feminist pedagogical approach which reinforces cultural and human rights of women, may present a proper response to femicide-related violence aggravated by social confinement.Keywords: cultural management, feminism, gender, violence and education.
