Human Security: New Tools for Observing Gender-Based Violence; Seguridad Humana, nuevas herramientas para observar la violencia de género

Abstract

This article aims to show how concepts linked to the notion of Human Security can be used to observe and understand gender-based violence. Since the 1990s, research on gender-based violence against women has proliferated in Mexico, and the phenomenon has been addressed from a wide range of perspectives, enriching the field. This reflection aims to contribute to that development by examining a tool that has been largely overlooked in gender studies: Human Security. Exploring its conceptual contributions not only offers new ways of understanding violence against women but also sparks fresh debates within the field of Human Security itself.
