This article originates from two research projects: “Violencias de género en un contexto de cambios: retos y desafíos para un análisis desde la perspectiva de género” and “Políticas feministas:
análisis de prácticas no punitivas y modelos alternativos en el contexto de las violencias de
género”. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Granada, Spain, we challenge the unidirectional
approach to addressing victims of gender-based violence. Our aim is to transcend the singular
notion of “violence” to discuss “gender-based violence(s)” in plural, and to advocate for approaches
that extend beyond punitive measures in the formulation of public policies. To this end, we critically
review the punitive turn in public policy, specifically in policies designed to protect women, incorporating perspectives from peripheral and community-based experiences. This issue has only
recently gained attention in Spain, where scholars have underscored the importance of documenting informal, decentralized, and unofficial responses.
