Abstract
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo exponer la actual situación de la violencia contra la mujer en la pareja, abordaje realizado de manera crítica basada en información debidamente documentada. Los informes internacionales, a nivel latinoamericano, indican que Bolivia ocupa el primer lugar en violencia física contra la mujer y el segundo lugar en violencia sexual, en las edades de 15 a 49 años. Se hace referencia a las acciones que el Estado boliviano realiza, a través de promulgación de leyes que tienen como meta garantizar una vida libre de violencia a la mujer boliviana, sin embargo, datos actuales muestran que este fenómeno se ha incrementado y recrudecido significativamente.
