Measures Opposing Violence against Women during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Press Coverage in Argentina and Chile

Abstract

Analysis of the media coverage of the measures opposing violence against women adopted by the governments of Argentina and Chile during the COVID-19 pandemic reveals that it sensationalized the violence without providing any in-depth analysis of the situation or adopting an intersectional perspective. Un análisis de la cobertura mediática en torno a las medidas para combatir la violencia contra las mujeres adoptadas por los gobiernos de Argentina y Chile durante la pandemia del COVID-19 revela que, si bien se sensacionalizó la violencia, esto se hizo sin profundizar en la situación o tomar una perspectiva interseccional.
