Sumario:This essay analyzes the increase in violence against women in home during the COVID-19 pandemic and the institutional responses of the Mexican State, and the work of civil society organizations regarding the actions that take place both in the public as well as in the private sphere to prevent, attend to, punish and eradicate violence against women and to guarantee respect for their human rights. It is argued that having a gender approach in crisis mitigation policies implies, as a necessary condition, that the State recognize that violence against women is the most lethal pandemic against this sector of the population and that, therefore, care programs for these vulnerable groups should be classified as a priority in finance and public security strategies.
