Esto sucedi\u00f3 justamente cuando en el Congreso se tramitaba una nueva ley para erradicar la violencia contra la mujer. Ahora \u2013 parad\u00f3jicamente- tras la aprobaci\u00f3n del proyecto en el Congreso, solo resta la firma del Presidente para que la ley entre en vigencia. &#8232;&#8232;La iniciativa parlamentaria, que logr\u00f3 unir a las congresistas de todos los espectros pol\u00edticos, est\u00e1 destinada a combatir la penosa tradici\u00f3n de violencia contra las mujeres. Son reiterados los pronunciamientos de instancias internacionales que se\u00f1alan que en Colombia las mujeres son habituales v\u00edctimas de violencia no s\u00f3lo con ocasi\u00f3n del conflicto armado \u2013en donde ya de por si son particularmente explotadas y abusadas por los grupos armados- sino adem\u00e1s, de otros tipos de violencia de los que muchos saben pero pocos hablan, como es el caso de la violencia dom\u00e9stica. &#8232;&#8232;En efecto, las cifras del Instituto de Medicina Legal, citadas en el proyecto de ley, son alarmantes: en el 2006 se registraron en Colombia 37.047 casos de maltrato conyugal y de cada 10 mujeres ultrajadas, solo 2 se arriesgaron a denunciar. La semana pasada, en un nuevo informe, el mismo Instituto report\u00f3 que entre el 2000 y 2006 se registraron 1.140 asesinatos de mujeres en Bogot\u00e1, de los cuales el 80 por ciento est\u00e1 en la impunidad.<br \/>\nFrente a este oscuro panorama, en buena hora las mujeres del Congreso \u2013 que son menos del 15 por ciento de esta colectividad &#8211; han impulsado esta ley, que incluye importantes medidas de protecci\u00f3n en casos de violencia intrafamiliar. Entre ellas: la inclusi\u00f3n de la violencia sexual dentro de la definici\u00f3n de violencia; la adopci\u00f3n de medidas de sensibilizaci\u00f3n en el tema de violencia contra la mujer; y el fortalecimiento de los mecanismos de recolecci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n sobre el tema. &#8232;&#8232;Para que estas medidas resulten efectivas se requiere del apoyo decidido de todas las ramas del poder p\u00fablico, especialmente del Ejecutivo. Sin embargo, intervenciones como las del Presidente poco contribuyen con esta causa. El alto grado de credibilidad con el que cuenta el primer mandatario, en virtud de su cargo, le obliga a una especial mesura al momento de dirigirse a la ciudadan\u00eda. La poblaci\u00f3n ve en la figura del Presidente un ejemplo a seguir; la imagen del hombre a imitar. Si el mensaje que el pueblo escucha es de aprobaci\u00f3n de la violencia, es probable que este patr\u00f3n de comportamiento se asuma como leg\u00edtimo y se reproduzca. &#8232;&#8232;Es por ello que las declaraciones de Uribe adem\u00e1s de desafortunadas resultan peligrosas. Ahora que el bal\u00f3n est\u00e1 en su cancha, Uribe tiene una oportunidad inmejorable para rectificarse aprobando la ley y aprovechando para lanzar un mensaje en que el reitere que nada, ni siquiera la corrupci\u00f3n, sirve de excusa para justificar o tolerar actos de violencia en contra de las mujeres. Este apoyo es fundamental para evitar que con sus declaraciones no termine d\u00e1ndole, desde el silbatazo inicial, una gran bofetada a la ley. &#8232;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wrath of President Uribe against Yidis Medina goes against the governmental bill that looks to prevent violence against women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
