En los últimos quince años se han desarrollado en nuestro país acciones e iniciativas tanto sociales como legislativas para mostrar a la sociedad y afrontar colectivamente la violencia contra las mujeres, tratándola como una violación de los derechos humanos, un atentado contra la libertad y la dignidad de las personas y como un problema social. La primera norma se publica en 1999 a cargo del Instituto Andaluz de la Mujer. En Cataluña, en el año 2004, se elaboran unas primeras Recomendaciones dirigidas al sector periodístico. Es destacable, en el sector comunicativo, el primer decálogo elaborado en el año 2008 por el desaparecido diario Público. Desde el año 2006, ininterrumpidamente, un equipo de la Asociación de Mujeres Periodistas de Cataluña lleva a cabo una investigación sobre como se aplican dichas Recomendaciones y como se informa de la violencia machista en los medios.
In the last fifteen years is has been developed in our country actions and both social and legislative initiatives to show and collectively address to the society the violence against women, treating it as a violation of human rights, an attack on the freedom and dignity of individuals and as a social problem. The first standard was published in 1999 by the Andalusian Institute of Women. In Catalonia, in 2004 the first recommendations to the newspaper industry were develop. It is remarkable, in the communication sector, the ‘Decalogue’ developed in 2008 by the already gone newspaper Público. Uninterruptedly since 2006, a team from the Association of Women Journalists in Catalonia carried out an investigation into how these recommendations are implemented and reported as male violence in the media. After nine editions of this investigation we have been observing how, gradually, the media have been implementing the recommendations. Thus, the information is documented and proven as much as possible and if this is not an option newspaper opt for shorter articles. Unqualified sources and morbid pictures are rarely used. Balances with data regarding cases of violence are also made.
