Abstract

In Colombia, domestic violence is a complex phenomenon that affects people of all ages and genders; It is a social problem that does not distinguish between economic or social conditions. In this order of ideas, and having as the main premise the title of this project; This research focuses on studying the clear difference in which the victimization of men and women is addressed in cases of domestic violence in Colombia; For this, a regulatory and jurisprudential analysis was carried out that allowed a thorough examination of the current legislation in the country, including Law 1257 of 2008, which establishes measures to raise awareness and prevent domestic violence, as well as the jurisprudence on cases related to domestic violence. issued by the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court of Colombia. After the methodological application, it was concluded that in Colombia, men and women who are victims of domestic violence do not receive the same legal protection; a circumstance that reflects that, although Colombian legislation has managed to advance in the promotion of gender equality and the protection of victims of domestic violence, the implementation of the legislation frequently reflects gender stereotypes rooted in society; In this way, men who are victims of domestic violence in many cases face additional obstacles to seeking legal protection and support, such as the lack of specialized services and the lack of awareness about their circumstances, becoming a burden for the regulations of the FIV and GBV.
