Combatir la violencia contra las mujeres políticas:

Abstract

Introduction. Violence against women in politics (VAWP) is a specific form of gender-based violence that is receiving growing attention from research, because it threatens the progress made in women’s political representation. However, there are few works on how to design legislation against VAWP. Objectives. This article contributes to filling this gap by analysing how the Bolivian legislation influenced norms of VAWP drafted and passed by other countries and international organisations in Latin America, the country where more efforts of this kind have taken place – the 243/2012 Bolivian Law on Political Violence and Harassment against Women was the first law on VAWP in the world –. Methodology. The research draws on qualitative content analysis of the legislation and semi-structured interviews with Bolivian women’s activists, officials and MPs. Results, conclusions and discussion. I argue that four specific features of the Bolivian legislation have had a major influence on other norms on VAWP: (i) a wide and detailed definition of VAWP; (ii) the attribution to the electoral organ of competences to prevent VAWP; (iii) the establishment of political parties’ responsibilities; (iv) the (incomplete) adoption of an intersectional perspective.

What is the problem? Representations of gender and violence towards politicians in UK parliamentary debates

“…Places including Bolivia, Catalonia and Peru have specific legal frameworks that criminalise violence against women in politics (Restrepo Sanín, 2018;2022a;2022b;Krook, 2020;Albaine, 2021;Verge, 2021). In tandem with, and arguably influenced by, these political developments and efforts by feminist activism, global normative frameworks have adopted an understanding of the gendered nature of political violence (United Nations, 2018;Castaño, 2021;Restrepo Sanín, 2022a). Relatedly, the global #MeToo movement has led to sexual harassment policy reform (Berthet and Kantola, 2021).…”

La psicopedagogía desde el enfoque de género para la convivencia social

“…Para (Fernández-Guerrero, 2015), es fundamental abordar la educación en alteridad desde una óptica integral entre las cuales se encuentran la ética, lingüística, espiritual, como fundamentos esenciales para constituir un trabajo cooperativo entre los docentes y psicopedagogos, esto con la intención de propiciar estrategias con la finalidad de formar desde una óptica feminista en favor de propiciar un infante seguro de sí mismo en relación a profundizar en la conformación de un ciudadano con pensamiento critico global, siendo necesario además, inculcar la relación política en conformidad de proteger a la mujer de cualquier tipo de violencia (Castaño, 2021).…”
