Role of Civil Society, Gender-Based Violence and the Economic System

ABSTRACT: Violence against women has become generalised in society, manifesting itself as a problem within the current neoliberal system, which at the same time has facilitated its reproduction, mainly linked to the economic context and at the same time overlapping with the social and political. The content of this book has a gender perspective, incorporating aspects of the community and the neoliberal system, interpreting the facts with a Freudian tendency that speaks of socialisation and on the other hand with a Marxist tendency, placing capital at the centre as the main factor generating gender inequality and violence. It addresses the role of civil society in the treatment of violence against women in a commune called Tomé based on the levels of membership and social participation versus the levels of individualism, rethinking the traditional forms of intervention.
