The Violence against Women Initiative is a very important framework in a time in which women need a platform to be able to discuss the problems and inequality they face in society. Throughout history women have been demonized, abuse, and treated unfairly, which has affected the way women respond to acts of violence. However, recent events have allowed women to gain the courage to stand against acts including verbal, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. Society, in general, has to be educated and be made aware of how to respond and meticulously act during events that violate the rights of women, as well as to properly punish acts of violence against women who are most vulnerable in these cases. The presentations in this session all address a form of abuse to women of different backgrounds. The panelists seek to use their papers and research to address inequality, different forms of abuse, and societal, cultural, and structural violence that women face in the United States and México. The panelists also seek to shine a light on forms of violence against women that are overseen by the justice system and often ignored by society. Women who, due to the culture and bias created around them, are affected tremendously.
