Spanish term or phrase: normalización de la violencia de género
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.

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


Explanation:
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:
