Center for Multidisciplinary Studies in Gender Violence - CEMUVIG

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2014-192

 
Description of research activity:

The transformation of society in its habits and codes of conduct can only be achieved through the prevention or re-education of these habits and the punishment of conducts contrary to the law. The first aim can be achieved through reflection from the perspective of the Administration¿s social policies and through the media and work in the classroom, whereas the second aim can be achieved through criminal prosecution. The way in which these goals are achieved will lead to the transformation of these habits and to a new culture based on gender and the equality of men and women within affective relationships. This is the reason why we have joined together researchers from three very different disciplines, all of them selected by the legislator himself for social transformation in the values of equality and gender.
