Abstract
The jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights on violence against women, has evolved over the last decade in a very interesting way. Today it offers a complete hermeneutic canon in relation to the positive obligations of States regarding the eradication of this type of violence. This paper focuses on two of the forms of violence to which women are the main victims: violence in the context of affective relationships and forced sexual exploitation. However, having set out the canon designed by the ECHR in this respect, the reflection focuses on two of the issues not adequately resolved by the jurisprudence described: the definition of the risk of suffering violence, and the determination of the role played by consent when defining the exploitation of prostitution as a prohibited phenomenon by art. 4 of the ECHR.
