Summary: Our propose is to analyze one of the aspects comprised in the lack of effectiveness as regards the degree of the Government’s participation in gender violence cases. Therefore, we focus on criminal and civil proceedings in connection with certain circumstances where violence is present, as well as the lack of expertise in related subjects. For this purpose,our theoretical approach isfundamentally based on critical feminist legal studiesfounded on considering the situation of structural inequality in which women find themselves as a historically segregated group and the law as a tool for perpetration of such inequality as long as it is not applied with a gender perspective. The methodological strategy used mainly consists in regulationsand jurisprudence analysis to obtain a better understanding of the real application of the regulations on violence against women. Then, through the documentary analysis of reports from institutions that process information related to the topic and on the organizations that monitor it, we will explain the trajectory of the causes of gender violence that do not have exclusive competence in any specific jurisdiction and we will detect some of the problems that the victims of gender violence must face when they decide to judicialize this issue. Finally, we will outline some considerations to create alternatives that improve the administration of justice.
