Gender-based violence and insecurity in Latin America and|

Gender-based violence and sexual abuse remain critical issues across Latin America and Spain.

In Entre Ríos, the Superior Tribunal de Justicia (STJ) reported approximately 10,000 gender violence complaints annually. STJ member Laura Soage noted that the current volume of cases is “nearly unmanageable” and emphasized that “institutional fragmentation often prevents effective protection,” as a lack of coordination between agencies can cause protective measures to fail. Efforts are underway To address this, the STJ has convened representatives from universities, professional colleges, and civil society to develop the Inter-institutional System for Addressing Violence (SIAV) through collaboration with universities and civil society. incorporate diverse perspectives into the tool.
