espanolEl presente articulo parte de la hipotesis de que el concepto de mujer maltratada implementado en Chile en el marco de politicas publicas que garantizan el derecho de las mujeres a una vida libre de violencia, responde exclusivamente a la experiencia de la mujer blanca u occidentalizada, adulta, heterosexual, que vive en un entorno urbano. Proponemos acudir a las epistemologias feministas y a la interseccionalidad para reconceptualizar las categorias derivadas de la violencia machista, partiendo de las diferentes experiencias de vida y maltrato de las mujeres. La principal conclusion a la que llegamos apunta a que, en Chile el marco normativo no tiene en cuenta las estrategias de supervivencia de las mujeres ni sus diferentes cosmovisiones. La ley solo protege un tipo estereotipado occidental de victimas, en consecuencia, es ineficiente, genera discriminacion y profundiza la vulnerabilidad en diferentes grupos de mujeres. EnglishThis article offers a critical review of the concept of battered woman as it is implemented in Chile, in the framework of public policies that guarantee women’s right to a life free of violence. However, we stress that such policies respond exclusively to the experience of white or Westernized, adult, heterosexual women, who live in urban environments. On the ground of women’s experiences and in articulation with feminist epistemologies, we propose an intersectional approach in order to re-conceptualize the categories derived from violence against women. The main findings suggest that in Chile, the normative framework does not take into account women’s survival strategies or their different worldviews. The law only protects a Western stereotyped type kind of victims, and, consequently, the law is inefficient, it creates discrimination and deepens the vulnerability in different groups of women.
