The violence exerted against women, fruit of the structural inequality to which they have been subjected for centuries, has gone from being invisible and socially acceptable, to being a front-line problem for most of the countries of the world. Procedural systems have been adapted mostly due to this new social concern, and have included the recommendations of international human rights organizations to their respective legislations. This article intends to approach the phenomenon of gender violence and a general view of the response that the Administration of Justice must offer battered women, from their perspective as victims in a judicial process. All this, without losing sight of the fact that all procedural systems are susceptible to improvement and that the road to its elimination and the definitive equality between women and men, will be long and complicated, but like any social change, achievable.
