<p>The legal rights, laws, pacts, treaties and national and international agreements on gender violence proposed by the OEA, the UN and UNESCO and subscribed by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela do not always reflect the actual facts. But we can ask ourselves whether this juridical machinery responds to the Venezuelan reality or, on the contrary, whether it is just a copy of other realities from more developed countries such as France. In that sense, the only kind of violence reported is the physical one. Physical violence is penalized in all of western societies; but other kinds of violence coexist with this cultural reality, which are invisible, not criminalized, and socially accepted. These include, first, affective nomadism; second, early pregnancy; third, paternal irresponsibility; and fourth, discrimination against women in politics and in the workforce, discrimination which has been accentuated by new rights, which indirectly exclude women from the labor market. This investigation is part of a comparative study between Venezuela and France, from a gender point of view.</p> <hr /><p>Los derechos, las leyes, los pactos, los tratados y los convenios nacionales e internacionales propuestos por la OEA, la ONU y la UNESCO, suscritos por la Rep&uacute;blica Bolivariana de Venezuela, sobre la violencia de g&eacute;nero, no siempre reflejan los hechos. Pero, cabr&iacute;a preguntarse si este aparato legal se corresponde con la realidad, o por el contrario es una copia, de pa&iacute;ses desarrollados, como Francia. Alrededor de esta realidad cultural, coexisten otros tipos de violencias invisibles, que no est&aacute;n tipificadas como delitos y son aceptadas socialmente: en primer lugar, el nomadismo afectivo; en segundo lugar, el embarazo precoz; en tercer lugar, la irresponsabilidad paternal; en cuarto lugar, la discriminaci&oacute;n de las mujeres en la pol&iacute;tica y del trabajo formal. Esta investigaci&oacute;n es parte de un estudio comparativo entre Venezuela y Francia, desde el punto de vista de g&eacute;nero.</p><p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2612553" target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2612553</a></p>
