摘要:This article adopts a constructivist and cultural focus to analyse the social movemements. In particular we follow the theses that argue that movements play a crucial role in creating new frameworks for interpreting reality. Such theses also research the influence of these frameworks on social change. Our objective is to develop a better understanding of the influence of the feminist movement on changes that are affecting the relationships between men and women, and their different positions in society. We turn to a study case and analyse the role of the feminist movement in the recent process of redefinition and rejecting of the justification of violence against women. This process has given new explanation of the causes of violence and has meant the transferal or this type of violence from the private sphere to the public sphere; also its recategorization from being a private problem to a social problem.
