In Mexico, various instruments have been created over the past 20 years to create the Mexican legal framework to combat the phenomenon of discrimination and violence against women, such as: Eva Platero also©clarifies other differences between complaints and procedures for gender-based©violence compared to other types of complaints, such as the fact that the complaint is resolved at the victim`s place of residence, regardless of his or her place of residence. in which he was interposed. All measures to protect victims. Worldwide, one in three women experiences violence at some point in her life. The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women defines violence against women as “any act of gender-based violence that causes or is likely to result in physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, as well as the threat of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether in public or private life.” and domestic violence against women, provided for in Act No. 11,340 (Maria da Penha Act) and the Penal Code throughout the national territory; changes the type of penalty for common assault against women according to the female sex and creates the criminal character of psychological violence against women in the Penal Code. We also examine the service and procedure of protection orders introduced by the comprehensive law on gender-based©violence to replace the pre-existing injunction, and extend the jurisdiction of violent judges to adopt civil measures in addition to criminal measures. Eva Platero also explains©the protocol for applying for and activating the protection order, which is valid for 30 days and after which©divorce or separation must be requested. A session, today, really interesting, during which the students of our postgraduate course in gender©did not stop asking all the doubts that arose. Something very important, because it is important that all professionals in any sector working with women victims of gender-based©violence know what happens when a woman decides to file a complaint and all the mechanisms that© are put in place below. Gender-based violence affects women simply because they are women. It is an attack on the integrity, dignity and freedom of women, regardless of the environment in which it takes place. It is the clearest expression of gender inequality and the most serious violation of human rights suffered by millions of women, girls and young women around the world, with serious physical, economic and psychological consequences, both short- and long-term, preventing them from participating fully and equally in society.

We also© analyse what it means to have special courts for gender-based©violence and the requirements that a complaint must meet in order to be able to apply to these courts dealing exclusively with physical or psychological violence when there is an act©of violence where the active subject (who commits it) is a man and the© passive subject (who receives it) is a woman. or have a female gender© consciousness (e.g. a transsexual) and there is a relationship between the two, meaning you can be a partner or former partner with or without cohabitation. This gender©component intensifies the sentence. It then describes the evolution of the criminal procedure for gender-based©violence from the filing of the complaint to the time of its resolution, all the processes that this procedure undergoes and the weaknesses encountered both by women and by the professionals responsible for their defence. With Eva Platero, students of the postgraduate course Gender©Discomforts immerse themselves in an analysis of the legal and legal framework of violence against women and children ±, identifying their lights and shadows and indicating alternatives to overcome the obstacles and difficulties they face. Eva Platero begins her presentation by clarifying two fundamental concepts: when a complaint of gender-based violence reaches the courts, it is because there is evidence that gender-based©violence© exists and that the process can no longer be stopped; And this 016 is a phone number©for women victims and they are the ones who should call. The objective of this law is to prevent, combat, punish and eradicate violence against women in politics as a discriminatory practice based on sex, contrary to the effective exercise of women`s political rights, in accordance with the principle of equality of all persons before the law enshrined in article 33 of the Political Constitution of the country.

However, despite the efforts of national and international organizations to eradicate this terrible phenomenon, it has not been possible to progress, so it is important to identify the types of violence, and in the case of a victim, it is important to seek a support network that must include experienced lawyers in the field. so that, in turn, they use all the mechanisms that have been explicitly created and implemented to combat it, because it is essential that it be sanctioned. We are starting the seventh postgraduate course©on women`s discomfort, the legal, legal and institutional impact of©©gender-based violence on women`s lives. We started the day with Eva Platero, President of the Violence Courts and specialist in mediation, disability and gender-based violence and founder of the Association of Women Judges (AMJE), an association that monitors justice from a gender©©perspective and is part of the need to inform citizens in general and judges in particular about the need to defend human rights, raise awareness and awareness. of women and girls with ± aim to contribute to improving their standard of living in the face of widespread gender inequality and violence against women and girls© ±. The magnitude of these impacts, both on the lives of individuals and families and on society as a whole, is immense. The conditions created by the pandemic – lockdowns, reduced mobility, increasing isolation, stress and economic insecurity – have led to an alarming increase in violence in the private sphere, exposing women and girls to other forms of violence, from child marriage to online sexual harassment. The objective of this law is to promote comprehensive measures to prevent, investigate, punish and eliminate sexual harassment, violence and gender-based discrimination, as well as to protect and redress victims in higher education, in order to create a safe environment free from sexual harassment, violence and discrimination based on sex.

for all individuals connected to university college communities, regardless of sex, gender, sexual identity and sexual orientation. Equally important is the review of gender-based violence action protocols, in which we are particularly concerned about sexual assault action protocols, and the importance of not changing the evidence that is crucial in sexual assault complaints and investigations©. After Eva Platero`s presentation, we continued with Mercedes San Vicente, a lawyer specializing in criminal family, gender-based©violence and sexual freedom, and a member of the Association of Women Lawyers Themis, with the aim of changing legal norms that discriminate against women and achieving effective equality between men and women.
