Contrastes y visiones de la violencia contra la mujer en Argentina

Abstract

There are larva problems in society, which give rise to concern and different positions towards them. Malnutrition, child labor, human trafficking, and gender violence, among others, are the discussions that give the most to talk about in an era in which these obstacles do not allow development and equality. This time we will focus on the dynamics of gender violence, which is a transversal public health problem, which deserves the most attention and intervention in the case. This issue is currently considered as a barrier to social and economic development. That is why the right of women to be herself in a chauvinistic society in the process of change is a significant step for progress and recognition. A clear example was the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women in 1993, through which the United Nations General Assembly “officially recognized the right of women to live free of violence, a right that was also recognized in the Inter-American Convention to Prevent, Punish, and Eradicate Violence against Women (Convention of Belém do Pará) of 1994 ”(Bott, Guedes, Goodwin, & Adams Mendoza, 2013).
