Violencia contra las mujeres: la ley y sus límites
Resumen
Este artículo contempla el poder y los límites de la ley para enfrentar la violencia contra la mujer en los regímenes cuasi-liberal modernizantes tipo BRICS. Mientras los defensores del derecho aprecian el establecimiento de la normatividad y la responsabilidad, las críticas feministas señalan la ley como estructura patriarca y una difusión global malpensado. Para adelantar el debate, abogo que el balance dependiera en algunos elementos claves del sistema legal: su arquitectura, el acceso a la justicia, y la impunidad. El ensayo sigue la influencia de tales barreras a la justicia en una serie de casos relevantes, y al fin sugiere que la respuesta mejor sería la mobilización para transformar o superar estos rasgos normativos.
