Descripción del proyecto
Política y práctica de la violencia de género
Las mujeres siguen corriendo un mayor riesgo que los hombres de ser víctimas de la violencia de género. La seguridad de las mujeres es una de las cinco áreas prioritarias de la Comisión Europea en su estrategia por la igualdad de género para el período 2016-2019. El proyecto VDGSEGUR, financiado con fondos europeos, proporcionará información nueva sobre las brechas en los servicios de atención a las víctimas y las medidas específicas que pueden reducir la vulnerabilidad individual y prevenir la revictimización. El proyecto se centrará en la dinámica conflictiva de la delincuencia organizada y los recursos locales de seguridad en el istmo de Tehuantepec, México, país que recientemente ha puesto en marcha una estrategia de prevención. Un análisis intersectorial ayudará a desarrollar medidas sostenibles de seguridad y prevención de la delincuencia.
Objetivo
VDGSEGUR explores the ways in which dynamics of organised crime and securitised local resource conflicts together impact on the insecurity and violence that women experience in the interoceanic industrial corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Focusing on the protection of women from the risk of becoming a victim of violent crime, VDGSEGUR examines the co-production of security through state, corporate and community actors. It scrutinises how different community actors respond to gendered forms of insecurity, paying particular attention to citizen-led security efforts, or “security from below”. Specific objectives are (1) to scrutinise how the dynamics of resource conflicts and organised crime impact on the insecurity that women experience in the region; (2) to investigate the state security interventions in the states of Veracruz and Oaxaca with a focus on the impacts of the Gender Violence Alerts; (3) to assess how community security measures contribute to constructing effective mechanisms to generate sustained security for women; (4) analyse the relationships between different security actors (state, corporate, community/citizen); (5) assess how law enforcement efforts, crime prevention measures and state victim service provision impact on the security perception of victim relatives. The study’s methodology is based on a participatory “security from below” approach, which, departing from agreed norms and shared values, and the contextualised needs of particular communities, aims to contribute to democratising security provision. An intersectional analysis, will allow conclusions regarding sustainable security measures and crime prevention in the Isthmus corridor, broken down according the factors of race, ethnicity and class. The findings will allow insights into what specific measures could diminish individual vulnerability and prevent re-victimisation, as well as reveal possible gaps in victim services, helping to improve them in the future.
