Gender-based violence legislative and social responses
Overview
Legislative and social responses to gender-based violence are evolving across several regions. In Chile, the government has introduced the “Cautelares Reforzadas” bill to the Chamber of Deputies, which seeks to increase penalties for violating precautionary measures and expand the authority of municipal security forces to oversee compliance. This follows reports from the Intersectoral Femicide Circuit (CIF) indicating that while nearly half of femicide cases involved prior reports of violence, only 11.7% of those victims had active protective measures in place.
In the Dominican Republic, lawmakers are attempting to consolidate 19 expired legislative initiatives into a single unified project called the “Ley Mirabal” to modernize the prevention and prosecution of violence against women. Meanwhile, in Quebec, Canada, feminist organizations have initiated a resistance movement and regular demonstrations in response to record numbers of femicides.
