FERNANDEZ MORENO, Sara Yaneth. Gender violence's visualization: a challenge to public policy and to socio-demographic knowledge. Pap. poblac [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.58, pp.209-230. ISSN 2448-7147.

In this essay the failures in the registration of gender violence are reviewed, particularly the socio-demographic information of the violent fact's recording by means of detecting the critical points in the patient's assistance route -man or woman- in the Public Institutions of health, failures which make it possible the evasion of civil, penal and administrative responsibility. The authoress argues in favor of fostering a statistical culture in health-care institutions that values and stresses the importance of information in changing the conditions of health and life of the population they assist, as well as in favor of sensitizing health-care personnel from the school of professional formation in this field.
