Violencia social en la Parroquia Chanduy y su influencia en los niveles de participación de los NNA en los procesos promovidos por un proyecto de protección especial en el año 2024.

Abstract

Social violence is any act with a social impact that affects a person's physical, social, or relational integrity. It manifests itself in different ways and at any moment in daily life. This research arose from the questioning of how children and adolescents in the Chanduy parish perceive social violence and how it affects their levels of participation in a special protection project in 2024. The results of this research were obtained through a mixed quantitative-qualitative approach, both descriptive and analytical. A semi-structured interview was used to collect data, and content and interpretive analysis were used for data analysis. Among the main findings of the research was that the participation of children and adolescents in the special protection project is positive, and that it is implemented in a context where respect and protection are guaranteed for all children. However, participation in community spaces is conditioned by the different manifestations of social violence that exist in the area, which hinders or limits the right of children and adolescents to participate in safe and violence-free contexts.
