Abstract

The following article addresses the issue of the obstacles that women victims of gender violence encounter in accessing justice, which in some way become institutional violence. The above is carried out with a mixed approach methodology, in a type of descriptive and socio-legal research, with a gender perspective, which reviews legal advances in the defense of women’s rights, especially the right not to be the object of any type of violence,i t also consults some officials and the victims, to learn about their experience and mainly their difficulties in exercising their right of access to justice.
