This article explains and analyzes some criminal prohibitions that, according to the author, penalize some types of gender violence, which are enshrined in the Convention of Belem Do Para and which is introduced by the Law 1257 of 2008 to the Colombian legal system. To do so, the author uses not only what is prohibiting by the law, but some of the relevant jurisprudential decisions that have been made in this subject. Thus, the author begins by giving a clear definition of gender violence, then she establishes the different forms of violence against women as the Convention established and finally analyzes in detail each of the forms of violence according to how they are typified in the Colombian criminal legislation
