Abstract

Violence has historical roots and today is more acute and complex than ever. It occurs at all levels: political, economic, social, labor and intrafamily. All the space is taken: the street, the school, the hospital, the company, the home. It assumes multiple forms: physical, psychological, sexual, verbal and economic. It has multiple representations: suicide, homicide, disappearance, kidnapping, massacre, abuse, blackmail, outrage. It affects everyone: children, young people, adults, men, women, as victims or perpetrators and is part of our daily lives. Currently, women are the main victims of violence worldwide; understood violence, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) as “the intentional use of force or physical power, in fact, or as a threat, against oneself, another person or a community group, that causes or has very likely to cause injury, death, psychological damage, developmental disorders or deprivation. ”(Sierra Fajardo (2006). Social Impact of Domestic Violence.) The family is the nucleus of society, but it is in it where violence occurs most and where its main victim is women, since it is the one who has suffered the most from physical, psychological, sexual, verbal or economic violence . This is because throughout history, women have been considered as weak sex, which is why they have always suffered from abuse and abuse, thus generating a gap of inequality in society.According to the UN, 35% of women have suffered from these acts of violence, some of these occur in the same home or a close relative, leading to the woman being affected or sometimes a femicide is carried out. However, this situation is experienced in Colombia on a daily basis, since in reality the rates of mistreatment towards women are high, which ends up generating cases of femicides and all types of abuse against women throughout the national territory. . According to legal medicine data, Boyacá is among the 9 departments where there are more cases of violence against women, becoming the capital of the department at the core of this problem at the regional level. A large part of the Tunjana population is made up of women, which has led to the development of various factors that affect them and make them vulnerable in this macho society that in the 21st century dares to ignore the historical struggle that has been developing regarding the rights and freedoms that all human beings have, and especially women. Faced with this reality in the city of Tunja, we have tried to combat this problem; At present there are spaces where they target the affected women. The types of domestic violence that most occur in the city of Tunja are those of couple, psychological, verbal, physical and sexual violence, and, consequently, this causes the family to be the most violent context within society, reaching even until the death of the victims of this type of violence at the hands of their perpetrators. According to legal medicine reports in 2018, 1,303 cases of domestic violence were presented, in which physical, psychological, economic and verbal violence are the ones that most violate the well-being of women. Faced with this problem, the creation of a “Center for the Protection of Women” is proposed, where what is sought is that women victims of domestic violence can go in search of guidance, help, support from professionals and others, to improve their quality of life and that of their families, and where they feel protected; This place seeks to provide spaces for education, health, protection, shelter and comprehensive training, which allows women to have tools to empower themselves from their family nucleus.
