Beschreibung: In many cases of reports about gender violence abuses, the women’s witness is not validated by the executive and judicial forces. This is fed by a patriarchal system which quite a few times minimizes the abuses, puts the victim’s witness in doubt, and adds difficulty to the judicial process. A suspicion that the accusations may be false is so much commoner than the reality of false reports. That affects not only the women who dare to speak up, re-victimizing them, but also those who are thinking of reporting these situations.
