Influencia de las capacidades sociales de la resiliencia comunitaria en mujeres que han sido víctimas de violencia de género del cantón Gualaceo, durante el periodo 2021

Abstract

Studies on gender-based violence have made it possible to clarify the causes and consequences that this problem has had throughout the world at the individual, family and social levels. It is for this reason that strategies for counseling, prevention, protection and care have been developed. However, the need to explore social mechanisms that contribute to the development of resilient capacities has been acknowledged. The very same women who show how some women, despite the fact that gender-based violence affects their physical and psychological health, succeed in overcoming this situation and moving on with their life in a positive way. Resilience is an intrinsic capacity of human beings, dynamic and a key factor for individual, association and community empowerment. Therefore, the overall objective of this research was to describe the impact of social capacities of community resilience on woman victims of gender-based violence. To this end, a qualitative approach methodology was applied, under a phenomenological perspective, with a cross-sectional design and an exploratorydescriptive scope. The in-depth interview was used as a technique to collect information. The Same was applied to 6 female participants of the Community Rounds project who made up the research group, selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, the results of the study showed that women go through a process of transformation and processing in which the period of time passed between the violent incident that they consider to be the most significant, and the contextual and cultural factors of their environment, and education for the recognition of their individual rights and strengths play a role. Finally, there is a lack of support from the community and government institutions to handle the situation, yet the closest affective ties appear to be the most important motivating factors
