Abstract

There’s no doubt that the topic of domestic violence is a major concern
for social scientists and for people who design public policies in Mexico.
The General Law of Women’s Access to a Life Free of Violence (GLWALFV)
represents a clear example of the connection between knowledge
and power, and boasts an innovative character in epistemological terms by
attempting to show that it is multidimensional, objective, ecological,
complex and interdisciplinary. The objective of this article is to present
a critical reflection on each of these claims, after which it will conclude
that there are inconsistencies and frivolities that deserve a serious and
urgent review of its foundations.
