    Este estudio se enfoca en evaluar el rol de las asimetrías de poder en la denuncia de violencia de pareja íntima (VPI) por parte de mujeres en relaciones heterosexuales y lesbianas. A través del análisis de datos provenientes del Banco Nacional de Datos e Información sobre Casos de Violencia contra las Mujeres (BANAVIM), se conformaron dos muestras balanceadas: una de víctimas heterosexuales y otra de víctimas lesbianas. Mediante la aplicación de once tratamientos y la comparación de coeficientes a través del test de Wald, se revela que la experiencia de distintas formas de violencia difiere entre ambas poblaciones. Se identificA que mientras algunas variables afectan a las víctimas heterosexuales, pero no a las lesbianas, aquellas que afectan a ambas poblaciones tienen un impacto aún mayor en este último grupo. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de adoptar una perspectiva interseccional en el estudio de la denuncia de la violencia de pareja íntima.

    This study focuses on assessing the role of power asymmetries in the reporting of women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in heterosexual and lesbian relationships. Using data from the National Bank of Data and Information on Cases of Violence against Women (BANAVIM), two balanced samples were created: one of heterosexual victims and another of lesbian victims. By applying 11 treatments and comparing coefficients using the Wald test, the results reveal that the experience of different forms of violence differs between the two populations. While some variables affect heterosexual victims but not lesbians, those variables that do affect lesbians have an even greater impact on this latter group. These findings underscore the importance of adopting an intersectional perspective in the study of reporting intimate partner violence
