Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The Spanish Law 1/2004 of protection from violence against women closely follows the recommendations of the Peking Conference and the CEDAW in offering a gender-centered approach to violence suffered by women in families or partnerships. Pushed forward by feminist groups among the Socialist Party in power in Spain since 2003, it is part of a wave of progressive politics including the recognition of gay marriages. However the universalistic tendencies of liberal feminism tend to ignore particularities encountered by women who find themselves in non middle class stereotypes: transgendered women who cannot legally prove their change of sex, women acting as breadwinners for their children in Latin-America, often illegally in Spain, who the law requires certain agency that economic circumstances prevent them from having. This paper summarizes the findings of 9-Month ethnography into the daily practice of 4 Jutjats de Violència contra la Dona (Courts of Violence against the Woman as literally translated from Catalan) and a Family Court in Cataluña, Spain, attending to cases involving Latino women. It tries to shed light into the ways the law is able to produce social change (by creating gendered selves) and the ways people use the law in unintended ways as Sally Falk Moore put it (2005).
