Violencia contra la mujer desde la representación cultural en el diario El Tiempo y ONU mujeres

Abstract

The coverage of gender-based violence against women in the mass media focuses on specific cases and facts that make society speak out against them, but many times that coverage falls into the line of morbidness because they focus on Obtain all the details about the history of a 'damaged' woman, but they do not exercise responsibility in raising awareness of the general problem. Colombia is a country of changes. Denying progress in guaranteeing Human Rights in the territory would be a mistake, the State has a public policy of gender equality and a comprehensive plan to guarantee women a life free of violence, but the news reported by the media communication reflect the reality of a society even with patriarchal behaviors that legitimize gender violence. The World Health Organization assures that, in general, 35% of women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence (WHO Press Release, 2013), while data from the National Demographic and Health Survey show that in Colombia it reaches 39% (UN Women, 2012, p.2).
