Abstract

Violence against women reaches its most sinister expression in the scourge of our time: feminicide. Nevertheless, the social and institutional answer has been offbeat. Large sectors of society remain impassive in the face of rising numbers of bloody murders of women and girls. Being unacceptable from a critical notion of humankind aware of its highest possibilities, the misogyny that sustains social order becomes alarming. 

This paper aims to comprehend the symbolic structure that encourages violence through a critical view of its possibilities for transformation. The conclusion that we arrive at is that even though a symbolic structure of sexual domination is operating unnoticeably to justify something that should be widely condemned, the development of actual sensibility offers a chance to identify grievances never before recognized.

Keywords:

Symbolic order, Violence, Feminicide, Hermeneutics, Misogyny.
