Abstract:
The fight for equality and against sexual and gender-related violence is one of the political and legal objectives of feminist movements worldwide. Given the increasing complexity of the phenomenon, it is necessary to generate new ideas and paradigms to address the problem that overcomes the hierarchy and 'heteronormatizacion' of the sexes and genders at social, economic, political and legal levels. This thesis, in particular, focuse on the analysis of the normative treatment that, in different institutional contexts, is made of gender-related violence, a term that allows describing all those violence against women and all people sexually and generically dissenting. Thus, based on a feminist analytical approach to public policies, during the European projects Gap Work and USVreact, has been carried out a qualitative and thematic content analysis (on manifest and later latent content) of macro policies (such as European directives and national legislation) meso (such as Catalan regional laws) and micro (and Catalan university policies). The results of this multiple legal analysis gave birth at three articles and an encyclopedic entry, texts that are the central core of this thesis. Through them has been possible to show how the use of the expression gender related violence can be a useful tool to get away from easy, essentialist and revectimizing legal responses; how a feminist approach to the analysis of public policies allows to show how legislation makes some subjects invisible and allows the maintenance and reproduction of certain types of sexist stereotypes and, finally, how the norms analyzed at all levels give leading to various forms of institutional violence against women and against LGTBQI + people, particularly those in certain situations of vulnerability.
