Significados frente a las violencias de género que tienen las parejas de jóvenes estudiantes de la Universidad Santo Tomás de Villavicencio

Abstract

This degree project takes up some theoretical and epistemological perspectives such as Gergen's social constructionism and Heideger's interpretivism, which contribute to the understanding of the meanings expressed by young couples about gender-based violence; a qualitative methodology is proposed, specifically the phenomenological method in order to understand these meanings. Through these theories we found that gender-based violence is a social problem that has been tried to be eradicated for many years, but cases continue to increase, affecting mainly the younger population, since they are living their first couple relationships, normalizing violent acts or behaviors. With respect to the above, the interview and the focus group were the data collection techniques that were implemented to obtain an understanding of the meanings around gender-based violence that the young couples of the Universidad Santo Tomás, Villavicencio headquarters, have constructed. Finally, it was found that the participants' awareness processes are generated by the visualization of gender-based violence scenarios through culture
