Citizen security issues impact women and men differently. For example, women are more likely to be assaulted or murdered by someone they know - in fact, worldwide the share of homicides by an intimate partner was six times higher for female victims compared with male victims (39 percent versus 6 percent, respectively). Boys who witness intimate partner violence (IPV) during childhood are more likely to exhibit delinquent behavior and to perpetrate IPV in adulthood. And girls who witness violence are more likely to experience IPV in adulthood.Esta nota sectorial analiza la integración de iniciativas de de prevención y respuesta a la violencia contra mujeres y niñas en seguridad ciudadana, leyes y justicia. Conforme lo define la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, los Estados tienen la obligación de garantizar la seguridad ciudadana privilegiando el derecho a la integridad personal, a la libertad y seguridad personales, a la privacidad y a la protección de la honra y la dignidad. Cuando las mujeres y las niñas se ven expuestas a la violencia de género en sus comunidades, en las calles y en otros lugares públicos, se está violando su seguridad fundamental. A pesar de que la reforma legislativa es un paso muy importante, no basta para eliminar la violencia y debe complementarse con otras intervenciones sociales y estructurales. Obtener justicia es también un desafío enorme para las sobrevivientes de la VCMN ya que tan sólo un pequeño porcentaje de las mujeres que experimentan violencia física o sexual llegan a buscar la ayuda de los sistemas formales, prefiriendo dirigirse a sus familias o comunidades en busca de apoyo.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO JUSTICEACCESS TO QUALITY SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYACTS OF VIOLENCEADULTHOODADVOCACYAGE OF CONSENTAGE OF MARRIAGEALCOHOLCASE MANAGEMENTCASES OF VIOLENCECHILD ABUSECHILD CUSTODYCHILDHOODCIVIL SOCIETYCODES OF CONDUCTCODES OF CONDUCTSCOMMISSION OF WOMENCOMPLAINTSCONFLICT RESOLUTIONCORRUPTIONCOURTCOURTSCRIMECRIMESCRIMES AGAINST WOMENCRIMINALCRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMCUSTODYCUSTOMARY LAWSDEATHSDIGNITYDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDISCRIMINATORY ATTITUDESDIVORCEDOCTORSDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENDRUGSEMPOWERMENTETHICSEXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONFAMILIESFAMILY PROTECTIONFEMALEFEMALE POLICE OFFICERSFEMALE VICTIMSFEMICIDEFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONFORMS OF VIOLENCEFORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENGENDERGENDER BASED VIOLENCEGENDER EQUALITYGENDER NORMSGENDER PARITYGENDER SENSITIVEGENDER VIOLENCEGENDER-BASED VIOLENCEGIRLSGPSHARASSMENTHEALTH CAREHOMESHOUSESHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN RIGHTS ABUSESHUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONHUSBANDSIMPRISONMENTINHERITANCEINSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURESINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS TREATYINTERNATIONAL WOMENINTERPERSONAL VIOLENCEINTIMATE PARTNERINTIMATE PARTNERSINVESTIGATIONJUDGESJUDICIAL SYSTEMJUSTICELAW ENFORCEMENTLAWSLAWYERSLEGAL AIDLEGAL AIDSLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGAL LITERACYLEGISLATIONLIBERTYMARITAL RAPEMEDICINEMURDERS OF WOMENNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR WOMENOFFENCESOFFENDERSPARTICIPATION OF WOMENPATRIARCHYPEACEPOLICEPOLICE OFFICERSPROPERTY RIGHTSPROSECUTIONPROSECUTIONSPROSECUTORSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SERVICESRAPERELIGIOUS LEADERSREMEDIESRIGHT TO PRIVACYRISK ASSESSMENTSANCTIONSSEXSEX CRIMESSEX WORKSEXUAL ASSAULTSEXUAL HARASSMENTSEXUAL VIOLENCESEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENSHELTERSTATUS OF WOMENSUPPORT SERVICESSURVIVORS OF VIOLENCETYPES OF VIOLENCEUNDPUNFPAUNICEFUNITED NATIONSUSAIDVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWILLWOMANWOMEN SURVIVORSWOMENAPOS;S HEALTHWORLD CONFERENCE ON WOMENWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION10.1596/21091
