In the 1990s and 2000s, pressure from feminist movements and allies succeeded in pushing scores of states to reform their laws to prevent and punish violence against women (VAW). Even in states with progressive legislation, however, activists face challenges to induce citizens to comply with the law, compel state authorities to enforce the law, and ensure the adequate allocation of resources for social support services. In this essay, we take stock of legislative developments related to VAW around the world, with a focus on the variation in approaches toward intimate partner violence and sexual harassment. We analyze efforts to align behavior with progressive legislation, and end with a discussion of the balance activists must strike between fighting VAW aggressively with the carceral and social support dimensions of state power, while exercising some restraint to avoid the potentially counterproductive effects of state action.

反对暴力侵害妇女行为:未来的法律,规范和挑战

在1990年代和2000年代,女权运动和盟友的压力成功地推动了数十个州改革其法律,以预防和惩治针对妇女的暴力行为(VAW)。然而,即使在立法先进的州,维权人士也面临着挑战,要诱使公民遵守法律,迫使州当局执行法律,并确保为社会支持服务分配足够的资源。在本文中,我们总结了全球与暴力侵害妇女行为有关的立法发展情况,重点是解决亲密伴侣暴力和性骚扰方法的变化。我们分析了使行为与渐进式立法保持一致的努力,最后讨论了平衡主义者必须在积极反对VAW与国家权力的支持和社会支持之间达成平衡,
