This article presents results of an analytical study with a gender perspective that seeks to answer the question, What forms of political gender violence were manifested in the elections of 2015 in the state of Chiapas? Reports obtained from the wider social networks monitoring the electoral campaigns, elections, and the turnover (change over) of officials was analyzed. The manner in which political parties seemed to comply (apparently complied) with the law actually reproduced and accentuated gender inequality, and moreover produced new forms of violence against women whose political participation was violated.

Keywords : gender violence; women; equal opportunity; elections; political participation; social media.
