The Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence against Women, known as the Convention of Belém do Pará (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.
It calls for the first time for the establishment of mechanisms for protecting and defending women's rights as essential to combating the phenomenon of violence against women's physical, sexual, and psychological integrity, whether in the public or the private sphere, and for asserting those rights within society.
With the aim of supporting the dissemination and application of the Convention from a perspective of diversity:
The text of the Convention has been translated into some of the other languages that are commonly used in the Americas, including: Aymara, Dutch, Guarani, (Haitian) Kreyól, Quechua (Bolivia) and Quechua (Peru)
In addition, in order to strengthen collaboration between the CIM and the Permanent Observers to the OAS, the Convention has also been translated into: Greek and Italian
In 2022, INALI and INMUJERES collaborated again to translate Articles 1, 3 and 4 of the Convention into 13 other indigenous languages of Mexico: Jujmi (Chinanteco from the middle southeast); Tének (Western Huastec); Bot'una (matlatzinca); In ningotsie (low dam Mazatec); Mexikatlahtolli, Mexican from the Huasteca Hidalguense; Ayuujk (high center mixe); Tu'un savi (low Cañada Mixtec); P'urhepecha; Lhiimaqalhqama' (Southern Tepehua); Pjiekakjo (tlahuica); Tutunakú (South Central Totonac); Bats'il k'op Tseltal; Dixazà (Coastal Plain Zapotec).
