Abstract

Resumen: La aprobación en España del Pacto de Estado contra la Violencia de Género en diciembre 2017 ha supuesto la confirmación de la prohibición de aplicar mecanismos de justicia restaurativa a casos de violencia de género que instituyó la Ley Orgánica de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género de 2004 y ha mantenido la Ley del Estatuto de la Víctima del Delito de 2015. En este trabajo se ofrecen argumentos que parten tanto de las ventajas atribuidas a la implementación de este ideal de la justicia a estos casos, como de la situación normativa internacional y comparada, del apoyo que dicha implementación podría hallar en cierto sector del pensamiento feminista o de las evaluaciones positivas de resultados obtenidos por programas de justicia restaurativa orientados a supuestos de violencia de género para sostener la adecuación de modificar esta orientación político-criminal. Sobre esta base, se concluye proponiendo las líneas básicas que debería contener un programa de justicia restaurativa aplicable a estos supuestos.

This paper offers reasons based on the advantages attributed to the implementation of this ideal of justice in these cases, as well as on the international and comparative normative situation, the support that such implementation could find in certain feminist academy sector or the positive evaluations of results obtained by restorative justice programs oriented to cases of gender violence in order to defend the adequacy of modifying this political-criminal orientation.

Domestic violence at the intersections of race, class, and gender: challenges and contributions to understanding violence against marginalized women in diverse communities.

Natalie Sokoloff, Ida Dupont (2005)

This article provides a comprehensive review of the emerging domestic violence literature using a race, class, gender, sexual orientation intersectional analysis and structural framework fostered by women of color and their allies to understand the experiences and contexts of domestic violence for marginalized women in U.S. society. The first half of the article lays out a series of challenges that an intersectional analysis grounded in a structural framework provides for understanding the role of culture in domestic violence. The second half of the article points to major contributions of such an approach to feminist methods and practices in working with battered women on the margins of society.
