Gender-based violence affects all kinds of women, including the older. In these cases two determining characteristics intersect: gender and age, which usually means greater vulnerability for the victims. In this paper both the benefits of a look at the issue from the paradigm of intersectionality and the need of an autonomous theoretical construction of the issue are discussed. The issue of gender violence against older women has characteristics of its own even it´s still connected to forms of violence like gender violence, as a broad category, or family elder abuse. Some public policies from the perspective of intersectionality are also analyzed.
La violencia de género afecta a todo tipo de mujeres, incluidas las mujeres de edad avanzada. En esos casos interseccionan dos características determinantes: el género y la edad, lo que implica generalmente una mayor vulnerabilidad de las víctimas. Se analizan en este texto tanto los beneficios de una mirada al problema desde el paradigma de la interseccionalidad como la necesidad de una construcción teórica autónoma de este fenómeno con dinámicas y características propias aunque conectado con formas de violencia como la violencia de género, como categoría más amplia, o la violencia familiar contra las personas mayores. Son también abordadas en este texto algunas iniciativas desde la perspectiva de la interseccionalidad entendida en su dimensión de inspiradora de políticas y actuaciones públicas.
