Abstract

According to information from the Chilean Network Against Violence Against Women (the Network), to July 31, 2014, 36 women had been killed because of machismo. That's more than one woman every week. For the Red, national coordination founded in the nineties, violence against women does not correspond to isolated events, but expressions of a system of values and beliefs that constantly reproduces and reinforces. Soledad Rojas, coordinator of the Network, has been working in visible and denounce violence against women in Chile over eleven years.
