El papel de las autoridades en la lucha contra la violencia de género
Abstract
The objective of the research was to identify the factors that contribute to the increase in rates of gender-based violence and to clarify the role of the authorities in the fight against this problem. To achieve this objective, the following methods were used: statistical analysis, hypothetical-deductive model, factor analysis, generalization and analogy and correlation analysis. It was found that there is a negative relationship between the level of violence against women and the economic situation, the level of gender inequality, the level of development of social norms and the level of gender development (only for violence against women who are not intimate partners). A positive relationship between the level of gender development and the level of domestic violence was demonstrated. Factors that directly negatively affected rates of gender-based violence were identified: cultural, traditional, religious beliefs about the status of women in society; authorities’ restrictions on the rights of individuals associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The authorities’ tools to counter gender-based violence were identified. The perspective of further research is the identification of the social and legal aspects of this global phenomenon.
