Abstract

espanolThe concept of health has evolved from the rigid and reductionist concept that limits health to a simple and biologicist vision, towards a broader concept that integrates the biological (physical), psychological and social dimension, as they affect the health not only of an individual but of a whole collective. One of the main criticisms of feminism to the biomedical paradigm is the androcentrism that extends to all levels of the medical-scientific field, as well as the high tendency towards the medicalizationof women or the banalization of their symptoms and the invisibility of their problems in Health. The objective of this article is to carry out an analysis from the feminist anthropology and the model of social inequalities in health about the different forms of violence that are inscribed in the bodies of women and the response of the biomedical discourse to their demands. The analysis carried out with the voices of different survivors of gender violence in the following contexts studied: prostitution and / or trafficking of persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation and sexual violence in the armed conflict; testimonies obtained through active listening and participant observation, in ethnographies carried out both in the province of Almeria and in Colombia espanolUna de las principales criticas del feminismo al paradigma biomedico es el androcentrismo que se extiende a todos los niveles propios del ambito medico-cientifico, asi como la alta tendencia hacia la medicalizacion de las mujeres o la banalizacion de sus sintomas e invisibilizacion de sus problemas en salud. El objetivo de este articulo es realizar un analisis desde la antropologia feminista y el modelo de desigualdades sociales en salud acerca de las diferentes formas de violencias que se inscriben en los cuerpos de las mujeres y la respuesta del discurso biomedico ante sus demandas.
