This panel presents findings from a large-scale narrative study on stories that foster lethal violence against women in intimate relationships in Latin America.
The discussion examines how such narratives are produced, circulated, and sustained, and what they reveal about the social and cultural conditions of violence. Bringing together perspectives from criminology, gender studies, mental health, and human rights, the panel will explore the implications of these findings for understanding violence, as well as for prevention, intervention, and policy development.
The panel
Experts from criminology, mental health, and gender studies will discuss the study’s findings and consider strategies for prevention and intervention.
