EJES DEL DEBATE PARA LA REGULACIÓN DE LA VIOLENCIA…

EJES DEL DEBATE PARA LA REGULACIÓN DE LA VIOLENCIA SOCIODIGITAL

Aportes sobre el proyecto de Ley Modelo Interamericana para prevenir, sancionar y erradicar la violencia de género contra las mujeres facilitada por las tecnologías.

Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG) y Laboratorio Feminista de Derechos Digitales (LFDD)

La violencia sociodigital es una de las modalidades de la violencia contra las mujeres que más atención ha recibido en los años recientes, debido a sus graves efectos en la integridad, dignidad y el daño psicológico, sexual, físico, económico y patrimonial de millones de mujeres y niñas en el mundo. No obstante han sido identificadas más de una veintena de conductas asociadas a la violencia sociodigital contra las mujeres, el desarrollo de marcos normativos y políticas públicas ha tendido a adolecer de un enfoque integral de derechos humanos de las mujeres, resultando en mecanismos que no dan una respuesta efectiva y que, además, desarticulan la violencia sociodigital del marco estructural de la violencia contra las mujeres. Al carecer de una perspectiva integral y de derechos humanos, no se cuenta con mecanismos adecuados de prevención, atención, sanción y reparación del daño.

Contribuir a la prevención y eliminación de todos los actos y prácticas asociados a la violencia sociodigital, es parte toral de los objetivos de GAMAG y el LFDD, razón por la cual ambos colectivos unen esfuerzos para sumar al proceso del MESECVI-OEA.

GAMAG contributes to Inter-American Model Law to address online violence against women

Sociodigital violence against women, also referred to as “Technology-facilitated gender-based violence” is rising, facilitated by digital technologies. The Global Alliance on Media and Gender (GAMAG) and the Feminist Laboratory of Digital Rights contributed to the Organization of American States’ project to design an inter-American model law to prevent, punish and eradicate online violence against women.

Beijing +30: Upholding commitments on “Women and the Media”

STATEMENT & CALL FOR SIGNATURES Descargar en español

Beijing +30: Upholding Commitments in Section J on “Women and the Media”

Global Alliance on Media & Gender (GAMAG), March 3, 2025.  Communication rights – particularly those of women and marginalized groups – are under severe threat world wide.

This year, 2025, marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action.  Section J of this landmark gender policy blueprint enshrined commitments to increase women’s participation in media decision-making, promote balanced and non-stereotypical portrayals of women, and ensure women’s access to and use of communication technologies.

Commitments made in Beijing are under attack. One driver is the rise of far-right governments and conservative movements across the globe, offline and online. A second is the increasing hostility towards gender equality evident in statements and actions by the current political administration in the United States of America. Nation states, the private sector and other entities are backpedaling on promises to advance and uphold women’s rights and gender equality. Action to address the escalating threats is urgently required.

Contribución I de la GAMAG sobre el concepto de Consentimiento en relación con la violencia contra las Mujeres y las Niñas. Relatora Especial en violencia contra las Mujeres y las Niñas

Enero 2025

Nota

Se autoriza a la Relatora Especial en violencia contra las Mujeres y las Niñas la publicación de esta contribución. 

Esta contribución fue elaborada por Aimée Vega Montiel (Coordinadora de la GAMAG), Carolina Pacheco Luna y Andrea Medina Rosas, defensoras de derechos humanos de las mujeres. 

Crítica feminista al concepto de consentimiento

Ana de Miguel (2015, 10) y Geneviéve Fraisse (2012) han llamado la atención sobre la creencia de que las mujeres hemos alcanzado la igualdad, tomamos acuerdos, que llegamos a la era del consentimiento. Este supuesto se ha posicionado sobre la desigualdad de las razones para elegir. Al parecer, las mujeres tenemos el poder y el control sobre nosotras mismas, como si ya se hubiera erradicado la opresión contra las mujeres que implica subordinación, discriminación y dependencia vital, en términos de Marcela Lagarde (2015, 100).
