dc.description.abstract | “In gender violence, justice arrives late and badly.”1 This was the title of an article written by the journalist Mariana Iglesias in Clarín newspaper, in mid-2012, about the growing number of victims of domestic violence in Argentina.
The concern was understandable. While this was not an exclusive problem of the country, it took place in a context where local characteristics had an influence. As an example, law 26,485 of comprehensive protection to prevent, eradicate and punish violence against women, adopted in 2009, was still not yet implemented and enforced in its rightful situation when this chapter was written at the end of 2013. Also, gender violence figures managed by private organizations and journalism showed—with its historical evolution—a worrisome picture. In 2008 there had been 207 murders of women and girls, 231 in 2009, 260 in 2010, culminating in 2011 with more than 280 cases (Pikielny, 2012; La Asociación Civil La Casa del Encuentro, 2010). In most cases it was noted that the murderers were husbands, partners or ex-partners of the victims. 2
Recently, data from the Ministry of Social Development (Ministerio de Desarrollo Social) of the City of Buenos Aires indicated that between the first semester of 2011 and the first semester of 2012 the number of young women between 13 and 21 years of age who had to be helped due to violent relationships had almost doubled from 31 to 69 cases, and while these violent acts occurred in all social classes and all across the country, the figures were particularly high in the province of Buenos Aires (Fernández Díaz, 2012; Mansilla, 2012).3 | |
