Abstract
Violence against women in any context and in anywhere is a structural, complex and mediated phenomenon. Recent political and military developments related to Islamic contexts have caused too much informational attention about the situation of Muslim women and the specific forms of violence against them. In this article, a simple of general Spanish news reference media has been taken, between 2005 and 2015 and using Content Analysis, for making a panoramic look at how this violence is called, represented and transmitted. The results suggest that there is a growing presence of this issue in the news agenda, but nevertheless, the violence it presented homogenized, due to dependence on agency sources and lack of a clear terminological use and socially beneficial conceptualization.Format
