    This paper critically analyzes the role of the Superior Court of Medellín in domestic violence proceedings during 2024, with special emphasis on the incorporation of a gender perspective in judicial decisions. The study, focused exclusively on Medellín and its metropolitan area, combines the review of rulings issued by the criminal, labor, and family chambers with local statistics, institutional reports, and oversight body findings. The results show that, within the criminal jurisdiction, although domestic violence was proven in all cases, the gender-based aggravating factor under Article 229 of the Colombian Criminal Code was systematically dismissed, contributing to scenarios of impunity and limiting the judicial recognition of structural violence against women. In contrast, the labor and family chambers adopted a more rights-protective approach, easing evidentiary requirements and applying international standards such as the Belém do Pará Convention, in order to prevent revictimization and protect individuals in vulnerable situations. In conclusion, the research reveals that in Medellín there remains a tension between procedural rigor and the State’s obligation to provide reinforced protection, which highlights the need to strengthen the gender perspective in local justice.
