Los estudios sobre experiencias femeninas y violencias de género en la frontera México-Estados Unidos

The objective of this article is to analyze violence against women on the border between Brazil (state of Mato Grosso do Sul) and Paraguay (Department of Amambay) through online journalistic reports and the legislation of both countries. From readings of decolonial feminism, it was possible to identify and describe how these information channels give visibility to gender violence on that border. Qualitative research of documentary analysis was carried out with the use of the descriptors women and violence. Femicide is the most recurrent crime in the twin cities; its modus operandi sometimes has characteristics equivalent to execution-type crimes and is usually perpetrated by people close to the victim. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the awareness and visibility of violence against women in this border region.

Women in the process of forced displacement experience violence during their transit, due to their historical gender condition, place of origin, age, schooling, economic conditions, etc. The purpose of this work was to know the emotions and resistance of women in the process of forced displacement who reside in shelters in Tijuana. The study was qualitative, interpretative, descriptive, and cross-sectional. To obtain the information, the field diary and semi-structured interviews with five collaborators were used. In the qualitative analysis of content, experiences of violence were found from their places of origin, the journeys and in the shelters; the emotions they reported were guilt, fear and anger; however, the hope of a better life for them and their families, the alliances with other women, even when they are intermittent, allow them to resist critical moments and continue their search for a dignified life.
