    Percepciones y experiencias sobre violencia de género contra la mujer en el noviazgo, en mujeres que cursan el 3ro de bachillerato en la Unidad Educativa 17 de Abril del cantón Quero, en el año 2024

    Gender-based violence against women is a global public health problem that ignores age, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Research conducted at the “Unidad Educativa 17 de Abril” in Quero (2024) analyzes how adolescents perceive and experience dating violence, as well as the barriers to recognizing and reporting it. It was found that current relationships, influenced by technology, foster control disguised as constant communication, while emotional dependence and traumatic bonds make them vulnerable. Early exposure to models of violence normalizes abusive behaviors, making them difficult to identify. Psychological and emotional violence is often interpreted as a sign of love, which prevents young people from seeking help. Furthermore, lack of knowledge about the various forms of gender-based violence and distrust of the formal support system reinforce silence, leading adolescents to turn to informal networks such as friends and mothers. Mother-child sisterhood is key, although not always sufficient, for effective guidance. The research concludes that it is essential to promote emotional and healthy relationship education with a gender perspective, in addition to raising awareness among institutions to break the patterns of violence in adolescent dating.
