VIOLENCIA DE GÉNERO Y POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EN TIEMPOS DE CONFRONTACIÓN (ARGENTINA, 2025)

Abstract

This article analyzes gender-based violence as a social and public health problem in Argentina. Using case studies and data, it examines the structural, cultural, and institutional dimensions that perpetuate power inequalities and some of the specific characteristics of gender-based violence. It discusses the legal advances achieved in recent decades and reflects on the challenges in a context marked by confrontation, coinciding with the far-right's rise to power in 2023. In this context, the question of the principles of social justice and the horizons of freedom and equality to which we aspire as a society once again becomes central. Given the weakening of policies on gender-based violence, the article argues for the need to maintain comprehensive policies that strengthen state and community capacities to guarantee gender equality and social justice.
