Inasistencia alimentaria y su relación con las nociones de las masculinidades y la paternidad en el Centro de Conciliación del Consultorio Jurídico de la USTA, sede Chapinero.

Abstract

The present investigation was an attempt to work from sociology the socio-legal problem of food absence. With a different perspective different from the studies that have been carried out on it from various disciplines such as law, psychology, social work, etc. This social problem affects the well-being of people who need to survive on food, which they cannot obtain on their own, since they do not have the means to guarantee decent living conditions. This situation has implied a violation of the rights of women and other vulnerable populations. In a large majority of cases the offenders are men. In relation to this background, this research set out to work on the issue from a gender perspective, but this time trying to inquire about men who breach food obligations. The development of this research was done in the legal office of the USTA. From an archival analysis of cases related to non-compliance with food obligations during the period between 2016 to 2019-1. This allowed us to characterize some relevant aspects of parents who reconcile food obligations and simultaneously inquire about the concept of masculinities.
