Description
Summary:In some respects, the legal response to violence against women has gone ahead of cultural change. This gap allows the resurgence of old myths and strategies against gender equality, such as the so-called "counterclaim", that is, the man who has been denounced as an aggressor by his partner, in turn, accuses her from violence against him. In addition to the context in which these cross complaints arise, this paper presents the results of a study based on a group of sentences pronounced in Biscay, in which both man and woman are condemned for gender-based violence. It concludes that, beyond the principles, the criminal justice system treats women more rigorously.
En algunos aspectos, la respuesta legal frente a la violencia contra las mujeres ha ido por delante del cambio cultural. Ese desfase abre una grieta por la que resurgen viejos mitos y estrategias contrarias a la igualdad de género, como la denominada "contradenuncia", que consiste en que el hombre que ha sido denunciado como agresor por su pareja, a su vez, acusa a ésta de ejercer violencia contra él. Además del contexto en el que dichas denuncias cruzadas se plantean, se exponen los resultados del análisis realizado sobre un grupo de sentencias -dictadas en Bizkaia- en las que se condena tanto al hombre como a la mujer por violencia de género, llegando a la conclusión de que, más allá de los principios, el sistema penal trata a las mujeres con mayor rigor punitivo.
