The contributions presented in this monographic issue of the scientific journal “M@gm@” on violence and femicide are due to women who for years have been measured for political and professional reasons with a hard and difficult theme and who have worked to make male violence come out of the shadow cone in which it has been relegated from time immemorial, but also to debunk the justifications and minimisations that it has found in its existence, informing about itself the cultural, social and psychological structures that have happened to the present day over the centuries. Far from being, as often, it has been presented by the mass media and politics, especially in relation to femicide, an extreme act of violence against women, it is neither an emergency nor the result of the actions of a few violent and pathological men or upset by passionate motives, but of a power structure from which everyone – men, states and institutions – benefits even when none of them would apparently act violent behavior towards a woman.
