Historias de vida de mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar y sus vivencias durante el confinamiento por la pandemia del Covid-19 : una investigación en el sector de las Casas Colectivas de la calle Gómez Rendón, en la ciudad de Guayaquil, año 2020.

Abstract

The confinement experienced by the current pandemic (COVID-19), generated drastic changes in the behaviors and dynamics within the home, work, and social relations in general. Within the family group, it has been necessary to adapt new forms of coexistence and roles, and in the same way, in certain homes there have been situations of violence, which did not occur before the health crisis, or increased where the problem already existed, which is not only present in couple relationships, but extends to children, adolescents and older adults of the family, according to the existing power relations in the group. Under a psychosocial perspective, this increase in violence constitutes a challenge. Therefore, this research intends to analyze the existing implications within the current context. Existing studies, within the country and abroad, have addressed this issue, but they lack the consideration of the incidence that COVID 19 has had within the risk factors related to domestic violence against women, as a recent issue; they simply address this problem of several aspects. The main objective of this research is to analyze the meanings that abused women give to violent situations within their family circle. It also proposes the strengthening that should be given within the family, so that people can live in a harmonious way, recognizing women as a bulwark of the main changes of humanity; besides observing the women's organizations that fight against all the domestic violence that gender suffers.
