description | This paper focuses on the States obligations to eradicate violence against women inside the Inter-American human rights system. The Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women (known as the “Belém do Pará Convention”), adopted in 1994, is the first specific instrument adopted on violence against women. This Convention provides specific norms applicable to protect women against violence that the States must fulfill and implement at the national level. It is the only human rights treaty directed solely toward eradicating violence against women that includes the direct obligation of elimination of stereotypes that cause discrimination and violence against women. Besides of reviewing the States obligations, this research analyses the standards stablished in the System directly addresses issues of state responsibility for responding to violence against women, broadens possibilities of a shared understanding for what it means to exercise due diligence in violence against women cases. All of this implies creating an integrated system of protection far beyond criminalizing violent behavior to focus on changing discriminatory social patterns towards women at all levels. |

All of this implies creating an integrated system of protection far beyond criminalizing violent behavior to focus on changing discriminatory social patterns towards women at all levels. Este documento se centra en las obligaciones de los Estados de erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres dentro del sistema interamericano de derechos humanos. La Convención Interamericana para Prevenir, Sancionar y Erradicar la Violencia contra la Mujer (conocida como “Convención de Belém do Pará”), adoptada en 1994, es el primer instrumento específico adoptado sobre la violencia contra la mujer. Esta Convención proporciona normas específicas aplicables para proteger a las mujeres contra la violencia que los Estados deben cumplir e implementar a nivel nacional. Es el único tratado de derechos humanos dirigido únicamente a erradicar la violencia contra la mujer que incluye la obligación directa de eliminar los estereotipos que causan discriminación y violencia contra la mujer. Además de revisar las obligaciones de los Estados, esta investigación analiza los estándares establecidos en el Sistema que aborda directamente los problemas de responsabilidad del estado para responder a la violencia contra las mujeres, amplía las posibilidades de una comprensión compartida de lo que significa ejercer la debida diligencia en casos de violencia contra las mujeres. Todo esto implica crear un sistema integrado de protección más allá de criminalizar el comportamiento violento para enfocarse en cambiar los patrones sociales discriminatorios hacia las mujeres en todos los niveles.
