LO 1/2004, of December 28, on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence after the approval of LO 10/22, of September 6, on comprehensive guarantee on sexual violence

Abstract

LO 10/2022, of September 6, of comprehensive guarantee of sexual violence, meant the modification of a good number of laws, in addition to LO 10/1995, of November 23 of the Penal Code. Among these laws, we are interested in the impact it has had regarding the provisions of LO 1/2004, of December 28, on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence; clearly gender law and with a comprehensive perspective, as well as the one that modifies it. The changes in LO 1/2004 take place through the ninth Final Provision of LO 10/2022, in which, essentially, modifications have been made to its Titles I, II, III, V and three of its additional provisions. The concept of gender violence has not been modified, however, despite it being a necessary issue since the ratification of the Istanbul Convention by our country almost a decade ago. In this way, for example, the rights provided for in these laws are limited for many women and this is more than questionable.
