Abstract

The concept of gender is based on the roles built by society, based on beliefs, principles, norms, and/or models that over time have designed the actions expected by both men and women and have an impact on individuals’ perceptions and perspectives. Based on an analysis of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, this paper aims to understand the phenomena associated with gender violence, in particular intimate partner violence, and to what extent violent acts are based on and encouraged by sociocultural learning of gender roles, contributing for a critical reflection on the challenges of gender asymmetries and stereotyped discourse.

El concepto de género se fundamenta en los papeles construidos por la sociedad, a partir de creencias, principios, normas y/o modelos que a lo largo del tiempo han diseñado las acciones esperadas tanto por hombres como por mujeres e impactan en las percepciones y perspectivas de los individuos. A partir de un análisis de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, este trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender los fenómenos asociados a la violencia de género, en particular la violencia em la intimidad, y en qué medida los actos violentos se basan y fomentan en el aprendizaje sociocultural de los papeles de género contribuyendo a una reflexión crítica sobre los desafíos de las asimetrías de género y los discursos estereotipados.
