Abstract

Resumen El presente articulo de investigacion resume el cronograma de los documentos de las Naciones Unidas difundidos desde 1993 para combatir la violencia de genero contra las mujeres, analizando el caso de dos paises en particular, Mexico e Italia, en una metodologia cualitativa comparada. Examinamos la secuencia de actos legales aprobados en cada pais, la semantica de las leyes, sus fundamentos teoricos y la transicion de la violencia de un hecho privado a un delito publico. El objetivo final del articulo es mostrar las similitudes y diferencias entre ambos paises ya que, aun cuando globalmente ha emergido un marco de referencia sumamente fuerte que insta al entendimiento y el trato de la violencia contra las mujeres con un perspectiva conceptual comun, las diferencias locales y nacionales existen y esto da cuenta de como un pais reacciona y se adapta a la presion internacional. Abstract This research article summarizes the chronogram of United Nations documents issued since 1993 to combat gender-based violence against women, analyzing the case of two countries in particular, Mexico and Italy, in a comparative qualitative methodology. We examine the sequence of legal acts approved in each country, the semantics of laws, their theoretical foundations and the transition from violence from a private act to a public crime. The final objective of the article is to show the similarities and differences between both countries since, even though globally there has emerged an extremely strong frame of reference that urges the understanding and treatment of violence against women with a common conceptual perspective, local differences and nationals exist and this accounts for how a country reacts and adapts to international pressure.
