Description du projet
Les politiques et les pratiques de la violence sexiste
Les femmes sont encore exposées à un risque plus élevé que les hommes d’être victimes de violences sexistes. La sécurité des femmes est l’un des cinq domaines prioritaires de la Commission européenne dans le cadre de sa stratégie 2016-2019 pour l’égalité des sexes. Le projet VDGSEGUR, financé par l’UE, fournira de nouvelles connaissances sur les lacunes des services d’aide aux victimes et les mesures spécifiques pouvant diminuer la vulnérabilité individuelle et éviter de nouvelles victimisations. Le projet se concentrera sur la dynamique conflictuelle du crime organisé et les ressources de sécurité locales dans l’isthme de Tehuantepec au Mexique, un pays qui a récemment lancé une stratégie de prévention. Une analyse intersectorielle contribuera au développement de mesures pour la prévention des crimes et la sécurité durable.
Objectif
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.
