Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / gender issues // violence
Spanish term or phrase: sensibilización // concienciación
I have been using "awareness" indiscriminately, but now it appears I have to specify. Here is quite a long passage, where both are defined:

Esta situación refleja de manera objetiva la realidad de la VG en la sociedad, en la que se entremezclan y confunden la sensibilidad y la concienciación ante el problema.
Por un lado está la sensibilidad como capacidad de reaccionar ante mínimos estímulos, y por otro la concienciación por medio del conocimiento exacto y reflexivo de las cosas. Estos elementos que están estrechamente relacionados, debe llevar a una reacción ante hechos que desde el punto de vista de ese conocimiento supongan un daño o amenaza, tal y como ocurre en la VG. Sin embargo, los estudios demuestran que el conocimiento de la VG es parcial y sesgado debido a la fuerte influencia cultural que tiende a contextualizar y a justificar sobre lo anormal y lo patológico este tipo de hechos, y por tanto, la respuesta ante los factores de la violencia no suele producirse, y sólo se reacciona ante estímulos relativamente intensos.

VG = violencia de género (GBV)

agree  Richard Boulter: 'Sensitivity to...' and 'sensitization of...'. Since the sours is -or is attempting to be - technical psychological wording, I support using this rather than the more-common 'awarenss of ...' Good call, Cindy.
