This article addresses problematic gender-based and political violence issues faced by women in Latin America in order to exercise their political rights, as seen from a feminist institutional viewpoint. Gender-based violence, together with the lack of equality requirements within the electoral political space, constitutes the main hurdle in the advancement towards substantial equality. In order to acomplish this, it is necessary to complement the existing legal framework that promotes the political participation of women, such as affirmative actions and gender equality, with specific legal strategies designed to ensure the exercise of political rights to this social group. Several legal works are analyzed in order to determine their applicability to act against gender-based political violence. The analyzed strategies include provisions to discourage this kind of practice in electoral laws as well as the design of specific legal frameworks against gender-based political violence.
