ROSAS-VARGAS, Rocío; LEON-ANDRADE, Marilú; HERNANDEZ-ORTEGA, Alejandro  and  RODRIGUEZ-HAROS, Benito. The work of government institutions in Guanajuato, around gender violence against rural women: analysis through a case study. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.1, pp.43-60.

This study has the objective of analyzing, through a case of gender violence against a rural woman, how the institutions that should support women do not, and how they have gender prejudices and minimize these situations. This study is part of a research project about gender violence and femicide violence in the south of the state of Guanajuato that takes place in rural communities of the southern region of the state. We begin from the assumption that women who are immersed in situations of violence can be pressured by their direct family members, by their spouses or by government institutions to not denounce events of gender violence and, when they do denounce, to cease the claims and continue with this situation that can lead to their deaths.

Keywords : rural women; gender violence; institutional violence.
