Abstract

This article explores the narratives within public policies on violence against women and abortion in Spain. Firstly, the article analyses the institutionalization of the narrative of gender violence which is established by the Organic Law 1/2004 versus the previous dominant narrative of domestic violence. Secondly, this article analyses the features of the narrative of abortion in the frame of sexual and reproductive health which is established by the Organic Law 2/2010 versus the narrative that emphasises the protection of the unborn. In addition, this articles debates how intersectionality could be used in both cases as a tool to analyse distributions of power and visibility within public policy studies.
