Mujer inmigrante y violencia de género

Treball Final de Grau en Criminologia i Seguretat. Codi: CS1044. Curs: 2017/2018During the last decades the violence eradication that traditionally has been exercised on women by the mere fact of being women, has become one of the fundamental political purposes in the international realm. On the other hand, we found ourselves with the phenomenon of globalization and its consequences, among which there is the strongest migratory flows that in one or another way provoke constant movement of people who search for material security and welfare in other countries that they lack in their native land. Nowadays we can see that the victim of gender violence of foreign origin is in Spain in the situation of major and special vulnerability. The lack of establishment and family support provokes the major sensation of worry that is aggravated in many cases because of her irregular situation. The aggressor knows this situation and therefore acts with a certain sense of impunity that he won´t be denounced, either national or immigrant aggressor. The consequence of all this is the major violence that the immigrant woman suffers in Spain, a phenomenon that presents important singularities due to the values of her native country and her legal status. This is the situation that will be tackled in the work through the analysis of the corresponding official statistics and legislation
