Spainmm.esquembre@ua.es Abstract Introduction and methods. This research article analyses the structural violence that is exercised against women in Spanish society and the ways in which the mass media has contributed to this type of violence despite the existence of international and national regulations pertaining to the media and gender equality. The analysis, contributions and conclusions of this research study are framed within the ideas of feminist literary criticism. Results. Among the solutions that public institutions can implement to tackle violence against women the article highlights two that are especially relevant in relation to the media"s misrepresentation of women and society"s treatment of women. Conclusions. The competent public institutions must demand the media to meet gender equality quotas to improve the representation of women, and must provide media literacy from a gender perspective to the organised civil society.
