In the next chapters we present the theoretical framework of this piece of research, where we summarise the main definitions of violence according to international treaties, the intersectional approach we adopted for the research, and Landman & Carvalho's (2010) proposal to evaluate the implementation of public policies. We also present the research methodology. Followed by a brief contextualisation of each country plus a description of the adopted measures by Chile and Argentina to address, confront and prevent violence against women and girls during the first year of the Covid-19 crisis. Furthermore, we will analyse the influencing factors on the adoption of measures, the main obstacles and challenges for their implementation and evaluate their level of effectiveness.
