Historically, violence against women has been present in various scenarios and social contexts. It is an issue that does not escape the spaces of philosophical reflection, the struggles of feminism and the positions of international organizations responsible for ensuring the protection of human rights. By virtue of the foregoing, the article presents a critical analysis of violence against women, understood as a type of institutionalized violence, maintained over time, which implies the subordination of women to the patriarchal and phallocentric culture, which is evidenced in psychological, sexual and physical aggression and, ultimately, in femicide, as a condition of extreme violence against femininity. The method used for the elaboration of the work is the hermeneuticdocumentary. This paper is not intended to establish definitive positions, but to serve as a denunciation of the conditions of marginalization and objectification of women in current scenarios, particularly in Latin America, while promoting awareness of this masked reality.

Objective: With the aim of knowing about the prevalence of the tactics employed by Ecuadorian adolescents to conflict solving in dating relations, the association with gender, the directionality and the frequency of use was designed. Method: A total of 985 Ecuadorian adolescents aged between 13 and 19 years (M = 15.02, SD = 1.72) answered to the Spanish adaptation of the Modified Conflict Tactics Scale referred to dating relationships. Results: The results exhibited the highest prevalence of use for the reasoning tactic; that the psychological violence tactic is frequently employed and by the large majority (4/5); that the unidirectional use prevails; that boys has a significantly high probability of victimization than girls, and girls perform more tactics of psychological violence and mild physical violence; and that serious physical violence is behaved with a low frequency, but the prevalence rate is significant. Conclusions: The implications of the results for the prevention and intervention policies with violence in dating relationships are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research seeks to contribute to identifying the central elements of the phenomenon of violence by conceptualizing physical violence. In this way, by identifying the elements for the concept of physical violence, it also identifies the elements for a more general conception of violence and its various manifestations. While it seems intuitively obvious what constitutes physical violence, several ambiguities appear under a more detailed examination. A simple question can illustrate this: are all homicides acts of physical violence? While an intentional homicide caused by a gunshot is an act of violence, is it also a death caused in a traffic accident? There is no obvious answer to this second question. In order to develop an answer, it is necessary first to conceptualize physical violence, but there is no specific research that clarifies its meaning. The research contributes to fill this gap in the literature, identifying elements to conceptualize what physical violence is through philosophical and comparative analysis, concluding that these elements, duly modified and particularized, can be used to understand different forms of violence.

Introduction: The World Health Organization recognizes that spousal violence is a problem that goes beyond the family sphere and affects all sectors of society, becoming a serious public health and human rights problem. Objective: to examine the relationship between elements of female empowerment and types of spousal violence. Methods: using data from the National Survey of Sexual and Reproductive Health (2014-2015), 3679 married/unmarried women were analyzed. Three indicators of empowerment were constructed as independent variable, as dependent variable physical/sexual violence was studied. The data were analyzed with the SPSS program using frequency descriptions, crossing of variables and statistical significance tests. Results: Those women who most justify spousal violence are those who suffer more physical aggressions such as pushing and/or shaking (15%), those who do not justify violence for any reason, only 4.1% suffer attacks of this type (p=0.000). The 3.1% of women with less participation in the home suffer the least aggressions compared to those who make more decisions and suffer more aggressions (8.1%) (p< 0.000). The degree of participation in important aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), shows that those who did not have any type of intervention, suffer greater aggressions of sexual type (7.3%), these aggressions decrease when the woman makes greater decisions in SRH (0.4%) (p=0.000). Conclusions: There is a positive association between a lower experience of physical/sexual violence with higher levels of autonomy in SRH issues and Rejection of Spousal Violence.

Motivated by an evolutionary look to understand the origins and circumstances of the practice of physical violence, this study analyzes quantitative data on head injuries in adult individuals, male and female, from pre-colonial Andean populations and discusses its results from the perspective of Evolutionary Psychology, particularly, to explain violent behaviour among males. The results point to a higher prevalence of males in the practice of violence and reveal aspects of the phenomenon that can be studied in the future, such as the differential circumstances of the occurrence of trauma related to gender in past populations.

The objective of the work was to study the violent behaviours in the relationships of young university students, as well as the perpetration and victimization of said behaviours based on the gender of the person who exercises the violence. For this, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of students made up of 137 subjects (101 women and 36 men) with ages ranging between 18 and 25. The results indicate that verbal violence was the most frequent subtype of aggression among adolescent couples, regardless of gender. Regarding the type of physical violence --exercised as well as suffered-- no significant differences were found according to gender. However, in the case of sexual assaults and controlling behaviours, significant differences were found between men and women. In general, the type of violence that was detected most frequently in this type of relationship was bidirectional, where violence is used as a way of resolving conflicts in a relationship or as a consequence of control and jealousy behaviours that were shown, regardless of the gender of the subjects. This type of research is important in order to direct violence prevention policies and ensure that they are translated into lines of action for the reduction or elimination of this criminal typology. This would convert into great benefits for direct and indirect victims, in particular, as well as for society in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is a field investigation of the descriptive and exploratory type that considered variable-aspects such as: socioeconomic level, communication and violence between the spouses. This investigation was carried out in a community of low socioeconomic level in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela during the year 2006. A sample of 45 families was selected and the women were defined as units of information. High levels of verbal violence generated by both members of the couple were reported, as well as high levels of verbal interaction and low ones of physical violence. In this sense we can assume that the verbal abuse could be working in two ways - at least for this study group - as a substitute for physical violence or as the first step of a phenomenon that usually develops in stages.

Children television in Spain is closely bound to the widespread commercial TV model. The analysis of children programmes broadcast in a regional channel of Spanish public television allows us to see not only the scarce investment for children programmes, but also the inclusion of some contents and values which could be considered as inappropriate from an educational viewpoint.

Background: A minor may be subjected to one or several types of aggression. These may be either child abuse or fetal negligence. This problem includes ethical, social, and legal aspects as it occurs during intrauterine development of the future child. Violence against pregnant women results in dangerous situations which increase morbidity and mortality for both mother and child; it also precludes the latter's right to a healthy birth. Material and Methods. This study included 191 mother-child subjects seen al the Hospital General de Iztapalapa from August to November, 2006. Percentile weights and heights were based on Lubchenco's tables. Gestacional age was identified by means of a cuestionnaire prepared by the National Survey of Violence Against Women in 2003. Results. Physical violence against pregnant women is reported to occur in 0.9 to 33.5% according to the literature. Because our study was done during an emotional time of the women, it may not allowed her to identify the ill effects of violence. This suggests that other variables should be taken into consideration when interviewing the subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
