Violence against women from a gender perspective and their rights

Abstract:

Men have based their domination over women, using sexual violence, allowed by the family and the State; subdued by force, achieving dominant privileges. This violence is concentrated in the woman, remaining to the sexual and reproductive control of the men, to whom its dominion is attributed. Violence against women maintains high indexes in the country, six out of ten women have suffered acts of violence, the State is the guarantor of women’s human rights; this scientific article contributes with the results of a research on violence, patriarchy, identity, gender, feminist contributions, sexuality, human rights, forms of violence, in which the discrimination against women in a macho society is historically demonstrated. In order to respond to the research problem, two paradigms were implemented, quantitative and qualitative research; in relation to the first one, it allowed to associate the variables in order to interpret the results; the second one helped to evaluate the studies on survey validation, so that the results do not remain in a numerical scale. The research results proved that, to build a more humane masculinity, awareness of the roles and social stereotypes created by patriarchal society must be raised. This concludes not only in denouncing the rights that women have suffered, but also in using feminist thinking to make visible the structure of law that has been biased in favor of the male sex.
