violence against women
Indymedia



In Argentina, the Civil Association La Casa del Encuentro, through their research area, had written three reports on femicide. In 2008, 207 women were killed and girls. In 2009, 231 women and girls. In 2010, 260 women and girls. Making a total of 698 women and girls killed in Argentina, because of machismo. All preventable deaths.


Violence against women takes various forms, and although some countries have laws and agencies dedicated to this problem, the statistics are growing year by year. According to the UN (United Nations) every 18 seconds a woman is some kind of violence.


Some figures in Latin America

Unfortunately these statistics growth, increasing in other Latin American countries. In Honduras, feminist organizations, alleged that 291 women were murdered between January and September 2010. In the period 2002 to 2009 more than a thousand murders of women, most remain unpunished.
El Salvador, is the country where they kill more women and girls. A report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on a statistic in 2006, says the femicide rate is 129.46 per million women. Richard Barthe representative from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) reported that in the period 1999 to 2009, violence against women in El Salvador grew by 197%.

Carolina Velasquez, coordinator of Communication and Media Strategies (Cimac) said that according to figures from the organization in 2009 in Guatemala, there were 720 murders of women. In Mexico, Nicaragua 529 and 79. The majority of these incidents have gone unpunished.

Meanwhile in our country, we began to discuss the introduction of the figure of Femicide in the Penal Code. Some countries such as Guatemala, Costa Rica, Chile and El Salvador have the criminal in their codes, with some differences.


Femicide:


causes media usually refer to gender violence and domestic violence, focusing exclusively on the field where it happens. But domestic violence has a social and cultural origin in the patriarchal society in which we live, which is based on the position of inferiority that we assign to women.

This violence is often expressed most strongly in the family, where they develop and perpetuate gender roles learned. This private space, often invisible, asymmetrical power relations. Despite this, gender-based violence is everywhere. No exclusive to one social class or educational level, but cuts across all social relations.
in all its manifestations (femicide, prostitution, rape, ablation, abuse, trafficking, traffic etc.) Are the result of social inequality, political and economic matters between men and women. This system is perpetuated by patriarchal culture, religion, language, education, media. Women are seen as sexual objects to serve the pleasure of men and are perceived as inferior beings without rights.
Rashida Manjoo Counsel UN Rapporteur on violence against women said on the occasion of the beginning of the Ibero-American Conference against femicide: The end of impunity: "... is a global problem, not something that happens only in poor countries or rich, not is an issue that affects white people or black. And not a single country in the world can claim to have succeeded in eradicating violence against women. Not one. They all have that challenge ahead. That no country can claim to have ended with violence against women.


"the abuser to control their victims using many strategies"


A year-end 2010 Femicide Observatory in Argentina Civil Society Marisel Adriana Zambrano, belonging to the Casa del Encuentro, released a new report on the killing of women and girls occurred in the period January to October 30 of that year: 206 women and girls were killed labor partners, ex - partners, boyfriends or former boyfriends. One of the most gruesome is the use of fire by perpetradores.Esta mode, which is not new, the Inquisition was used to punish women for allegedly practicing witchcraft. Although in reality was the way the church controlled the women through terror.
To address these issues interviewed Suzanne Cisneros, a lawyer and feminist, who for more than 10 years spent working in various programs of violence. She teaches at the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences at the University of La Plata (UNLP). Researched and published a report called "The Intimate Femicide in the city of La Plata 1997-2001, working in the Civil Association" Des-Paste Group Links without violence ", and is currently in a domestic violence program.
Indymedia: Do you think the treatment given the media to femicides with fire, you have to do with the increase of these facts?

We see it in their daily work, there are many women who hear from the mouths of his companions, the aggressors, that will burn like Wanda, that they will throw in alcohol. This is a strategy of domination and control that perpetrators usually used with women. As with the case Barreda, where many assailants took this, and they took it and told their victims, as a form of control and all that it generates. The abuser to control their victims using many strategies [...] that is going to take the kids, who are going to stay with the house, he will tell his mother, who is going to kill the mother [... ] according the degree of violence exercised, and one of the elements that incorporate, when they leave these cases in the media is telling them "you'll burn as such," "going to appear scorched," I'm going to throw acid. " [...] This is the most sensitive points of the victim and causes him much
pain, but when viewed by the media are actually displayed some of these deaths and bodies, and are [...] the average this process has taken as a conscience and they are watching from another location.

An important case in our country, and helped to start talking about the violence was the femicide Alicia Muniz. When there is the murder of Alicia Muniz, many women were reflected, to them the same thing could happen to them. Reached the health services to tell them that psychologists in particular [...] the psychologists did not know how to address this issue, there was no talk of violence. They had to all the literature of other countries to address this issue, but the big trigger was the case of Alicia Muniz. The great challenge that will take the media is how it is spread the news: not a "crime of passion" is not body, not counting the bodies, the number of bodies, but that means that there is behind this, because I seems this also serves the victim who is listening. There are many victims who are with this idea that they can be burned, I think that if the media
return a more critical look, more wave of this issue to them also serves. It is an opportunity to deepen the media behind it, what happened, an opportunity to go deeper, because the leverage effect which is going to serve those victims who are listening, they are watching, but also perpetrators they are listening and they are watching. Work on pedagogy, information, training, training, think it is a great challenge, and also to prevention.

Indymedia: What is the responsibility of States and institutions in increasing violence against women?

violence against women in particular opened to separate, on one hand from the regulatory point of view, fortunately we have laws, "laws that protect, protection laws, laws that sanction laws that seek to eradicate or responsibility ... we are with what the international community on these points is also enacting such laws ... rules are as complete, the issue is that there is a divorce, a separation between what the rule says and what different branches of government, the various operators, and yet, the company performs in this regard, according to their different responsibilities. I think the state should address and work to prevent [...] gender stereotypes, rigid roles and that through education. Justice, really make a penalty. This is working hard, but there is still that there are no such issues with a sense of impunity or be punished. Normatively 're a country of advanced, denying what is, also part of a responsibility to have a cropped look at these issues just have to have a look as flexible as possible. It is a complex issue where the links. A multi-sectoral issue, where the psychosocial context is very important. To address and delve into the topic has to be as open as possible, as flexible as possible, because there is much cross cultural, cross the subject of addictions. Addictions have changed much form and is a major factor when assessing risk.
Indymedia: Do you think that the inclusion of the figure of femicide is going to bring any change?

If this becomes a law and incorporated into the Penal Code, judges will have to apply what the law says. Va to be a change in that direction, but when there has been femicide and sanctioning FEMICA or the person who has killed. That is, the change will be purely in the legal field and in particular the application you will have to make the judges. If this can generate a wide social impact, or the social imaginary is a wish. We have laws that are delicious, they are clear laws in this regard. On the issue of violence, different types of violence, how he has to work on prevention, eradication, as they have to address these issues. However, we find that the social imaginary has not taken the full extent of what it means, where a group family, a couple in a relationship is introduced as a form of communication. All
devastating effects and terrible for all those who are directly or indirectly involved in this issue. We still have far to go, so I think it is important to prevention, so it is welcome that there is a criminal offense and that specifically criminalizes the true extent of the sanction. You are welcome, but I think that we still work in cultural awareness, to eradicate, there are no more murders of women and no more violence.

Indymedia: Militancy y denuncias incansables del movimiento de mujeres sirvieron para visibilizar esta problemática?

 

Los cambios que se van a ir dando va a ser provocados, o motorizados por el grupo de presión que constituyen los grupos de mujeres. Primero tímidamente, como que se van posicionando, y después van dando batalla en este desafió, y van ganando espacios y ya se torna irrefutable. Y estos ejemplos tenemos en la región, sucedió en Guatemala cuando tímidamente y con gran oposición apareció el proyecto de femicidio, de sancionar el femicidio, y después por la presión de los grupos de mujeres, hace unos años que tienen la ley de feminicidios sancionada. Yo creo que esto es product of the women's movement, and I think that is a logical process, because I believe that when women begin to position ourselves at one point, is like a road that can not go back, one [...] going forward.

Indymedia: Do you think I go to parties, social movements and institutions sufficient debate on gender violence?

The causes are varied, a strong cause is unknown. Not knowing something generates fear, generates these misgivings, this distrust, and of course political parties in decision-making should be a debate. It is the same in college, a center formation of what later will be the future operators, either in justice, whether in health ... different actors have to intervene in a situation of violence from a formation where these topics are absent, if not totally absent or there are more academic, but not enough, do not meet all expectations. Should be mandatory in all future training of operators to have training in these issues, I think that maybe part after ignorance. Position against what they say international treaties on these issues in the legislation, which just say they have to work on stereotypes
gender on the patterns, changing cultural patterns. We like what you say breach the rules.

Susan also participates in the fight for justice for Sandra Ayala Gamboa known about:

has come to light, not the entire city should be expected, but part of the city in certain sectors, for the work they have done the various women's movements, students, who were with Nelly. This fact is coupled femicide, trafficking, discrimination, violence, social exclusion, ethnicity. Required to adjust the eye can not see Sandra as a girl who died, who was found dead in a public place. You have to dig deeper and see that Sandra was young, was a migrant, was poor, probably was, until the courts rule on this, "victim of trafficking, the product of exclusion, we must dig deeper. The debt we owe to society is to realize this, talk about rules, talk about enacting provisions are always welcome [...] but the big challenge is to bring about change at the societal level, just to achieve eradication, achieving another way not be linked through
violence.
