The Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence against Women, known as the Convention of Bel{\'e}m do Par{\'a} (where it was adopted in 1994), defines violence against women, establishes that women have the right to live a life free of violence and that violence against women constitutes a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.\&nbsp;
It calls for the first time for the establishment of mechanisms for protecting and defending women{\textquoteright}s rights as essential to combating the phenomenon of violence against women{\textquoteright}s physical, sexual, and psychological integrity, whether in the public or the private sphere, and for asserting those rights within society.
