Spanish term

normalización de la violencia de género

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Hola,

Estoy traduciendo un informe sobre la violencia de género en Sudamérica y se habla en un párrafo de su "normalización" como factor determinante en la aceptación de los continuos episodios de violencia en la sociedad, entendiendo "normalización" como un proceso en el que se empieza a ver la violencia como algo "normal" y, por lo tanto, aceptado.

Estuve buscando en inglés y encontré normalization, pero dudo de que sea el término correcto, dado que se refiere a "The process of bringing or returning something to a normal condition or state", según https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/normalization, pero no me da ese matiz de considerar algo normal y, por ende, verlo con un poco de indiferencia.

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

normalization of gender violence

I understand it perfectly without having to find a different word.

Merriam-Webster definition:

normalized; normalizing
transitive verb
1 : to make conform to or reduce to a norm or standard
2 : to make normal (as by a transformation of variables)

Normalization of Violence | Piktochart Visual Editor
https://create.piktochart.com/output/15622864-normalization-...
The normalization of violence is the acceptance that violence is an immutable part of life, that depictions of violence do not have real life consequences, and that it is the responsibility of the victim, not the perpetrator, to prevent violence.

trivialisation of domestic violence

Domestic abuse is a big issue nowadays. A Google search for the phrase "normalisation of domestic violence" gets over 20,000 hits. I imagine it will get more if we spell normalisation with a "zee", as it's only spelling accepted in US English. However, if you are really desperate to avoid the use of "normalisation", you might consider "trivialisation" or "banalisation" ss alternatives.

With the "zee" spelling, "trivialization of domestic violence" gets over 4K hits:
