Abstract

Objective. To reflect on violence, invisibility and harassment against women from a multidimensional perspective. Method. Analysis of primary and secondary sources on the subject and analysis of data and statistics for monitoring the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations Statistical Knowledge Management Center for Latin America and the Caribbean. Results. Despite advances in the struggle for gender equality, these problems persist throughout the world, affecting women of all ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations and socioeconomic contexts. 
The article analyzes from a multidimensional perspective the causes, manifestations and consequences, as well as the strategies and policies aimed at addressing violence, invisibility and harassment against women. Conclusion. Addressing gender-based violence requires a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, protection, rehabilitation and promotion of gender equality. Strategies and policies must be inclusive and tailored to the specific needs of each group of victims, ensuring an effective and sustainable response. Collaboration between governments, civil society and international organizations is crucial to achieve meaningful and lasting change in the fight against gender-based violence. Only through a joint effort and strong political will can we move towards a more just and equal society for all.
