Abstract
Gender violence (GV) is a problem that affects most societies and increases its prevalence when it comes to cultures that rely on patriarchy. The study shows data from León (Nicaragua), a country with a low level of development in which gender violence is transmitted from the family, favoring tolerance and normalization. The results reported by the Commissariat for Women and Children describe the victims and the circumstances related to the mistreatment suffered, however, the cessation of this institution has increased vulnerability and impunity towards gender violence. It is necessary to disseminate the problems of a country about which scientific literature is not abundant and to recognize the important work carried out by the professionals who worked for the eradication of gender violence and the protection of women.
