At the international level, gender violence and in particular, violence against women has been part of some sectors of society and has been included in the agendas of public and private entities. In this way, different conventions, resolutions and protocols have been formulated focused on their intervention. One of them is the Convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women CEDAW (1979), which, among many others, deals with the design of equality policies with special and temporary measures to achieve equality between women and men. Likewise, in 1994 the “Belem do Para” convention was created, which applies to all manifestations of physical, sexual or psychological violence based on gender. In the Political Constitution of Colombia of 1991, in article 43 it is enshrined: “Women and men have equal rights and opportunities. Women may not be subjected to any kind of discrimination ”. Likewise, Law 311 of 1996 creates the National Registry of Family Protection and other provisions are issued. In this way, equality between men and women and families are assumed as the responsibility of the State and, therefore, mandatory for its intervention.
