Una mirada a la Violencia de Género en la Primera Infancia en Colombia: Análisis Documental y Propuestas para la Prevención

Abstract

The research titled "Analysis of Gender-Based Violence in Early Childhood in Colombia: Proposals for Prevention" aims to understand how this issue is addressed from the earliest ages. The study is conducted through a documentary analysis of existing sources on gender-based violence in early childhood, using a qualitative approach to interpret the findings from the reviewed sources. Among the results obtained, a lack of specific research on gender-based violence in early childhood was evident. However, various proposals and approaches were identified that support the inclusion and promotion of gender equity in educational settings. In this context, the importance of questioning traditional gender roles and implementing educational strategies that foster a safe and respectful environment for all children is emphasized. The analysis also revealed a dual issue: on one hand, there is a significant social ignorance about how Gender-Based Violence (GBV) manifests, and on the other, there is a concerning normalization of such behaviors in society. This leads many victims to not recognize that they are experiencing violence or to consider it "normal" within their interpersonal relationships. The research highlights the need to integrate pedagogical approaches that promote gender equity, as well as to develop public policies that address gender-based violence from early childhood. Additionally, it suggests that education and awareness-raising are key tools in transforming the cultural norms and expectations that perpetuate gender-based violence.
