The domestic assault in Spain have increased by 145% between 2000 and 2004. In the European Union, at least one of every five women is abused by her partner. Beyond our Europe, the mistreatment of women casts some frightening figures: 130 million fewer women in the world due to domestic violence exerted on them, even before birth.
Is not it time to raise the issue of domestic violence beyond the psychological and sociological models, manifested clearly enough? This book offers a different way to approach the phenomenon abuse: from the complement system upon which we founded our domestic relations. From an anthropological investigation more than 600 people, including victims of abuse, comes this story that is neither social nor individual, but cultural. In it are revealed underlying cultural models of domestic violence: the clan syndrome Syndrome and Heloise.
This work is undertaken with clear objectives: not to tolerate the structural violence against women as a price to pay to maintain our lifestyles, or accept a woman's death by friendly fire of the lover, nor admit that the family is a 'Comanche territory' where women can become the scapegoat.
