“…As in this research, studies conducted in Mexico, Africa and in the United States, found that the main support received by women in situations of violence was from their family 14 - 16 . Another Brazilian research also corroborates the importance of the family as a motivating factor, since most of the women did not seek formal support and only told their family about the situation of violence experienced 7 .…”

Objective:To know and analyze the critical path followed by women subjected to intimate partner violence until reaching a Reference Center of a Brazilian city, from the perspective of these women. Method:Qualitative research, based on the concept of critical path. Participant observations of the support group of the Reference Center and interviews with ten women in situations of violence who were followed up in this service. Results:the motivating factors for women to seek help were the increase in the severity of the aggressions, the impact of the violence on their children and support from their family. They go to several sectors and services before reaching the Reference Center, such as the police and legal counsel, health and social services. They find little effective responses from the services, and care is indicated as the most relevant response factor to face the situation. Conclusion:the assistance is fragmented and dependent on the posture of the professional. The Reference Center is recognized as an important place of support for women. In addition to governmental efforts to maintain the network structured, the permanent education of the working professionals is also fundamental.

“…A las mujeres que viven VP con frecuencia se las caracteriza como impotentes, paralizadas, indefensas o pasivas (Agoff y Herrera, 2015;Frías y Agoff, 2015;Zakar, Zakar y Krämer, 2012). Sin embargo, atraviesan por procesos de reflexividad y de elaboración de estrategias de afrontamiento basadas en el reconocimiento de su vulnerabilidad y de sus recursos (Zakar et al, 2012).…”

“…Las mujeres recurren a redes familiares para el acompañamiento emocional, la defensa o el enfrentamiento físico o verbal de los familiares con la pareja, así como para solicitar apoyo de recursos materiales, como vivienda, vestido, alimentos o dinero para hacer frente a algún gasto. No todas las mujeres recurren a sus redes familiares, porque éstas pueden brindar un apoyo negativo (Agoff, Herrera y Castro, 2007;Frías y Agoff, 2015). Cuando las mujeres perciben que sus redes van a brindar un apoyo positivo, los familiares las alientan a separarse o mantenerse alejadas del agresor; a buscar apoyo legal o psicológico y las acompañan en procesos legales; exigen al agresor que cese la violencia y la defienden de ésta incluso llegando a agredir al agresor.…”

“…Las formas en que las mujeres enfrentan la VP han sido objeto de menor atención académica y adolecen también de no diferenciar entre distintas dinámicas de violencia (Agoff y Herrera, 2015;Frías, 2013b;Frías y Agoff, 2015). Comprender las formas en que las mujeres afrontan la VP y cuándo acuden a las instituciones públicas a buscar ayuda es de relevancia para diseñar e implementar acciones tendientes a garantizar que tengan una vida libre de violen-1 Cálculos propios a partir de la base de datos de mortalidad del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) (actualizada el 31 de enero de 2019).…”

Este estudio examina la prevalencia de la violencia de pareja y las estrategias de resistencia y búsqueda de ayuda de las mujeres de Zacatecas. Se emplea una metodología mixta con datos de la Encuesta Nacional sobre la Dinámica de las Relaciones en los Hogares 2016 y entrevistas narrativas con mujeres víctimas de violencia de pareja. Los datos cualitativos se emplean para complementar y explicar los resultados cuantitativos. La estrategia analítica diferencia entre distintas dinámicas de violencia de pareja. Los análisis muestran que 7.3% de las mujeres zacatecanas la padecieron (5.7% violencia situacional, 1.4% terrorismo íntimo y 0.2% resistencia violenta). Las mujeres despliegan una gran variedad de estrategias de resistencia ante la violencia de pareja (activas, pasivas, individuales, colectivas, formales e informales) que son contingentes a la dinámica violenta y a la fase del ciclo de dicha violencia en la que se encuentran. La búsqueda de ayuda formal se dificulta cuando padecieron violencia en la familia de origen. Sólo 9% buscó ayuda formal y sólo 6.3% denunció el maltrato. Las mujeres que padecen terrorismo íntimo y que recurren a la resistencia violenta, dinámicas potencialmente más letales, acuden en mayor medida a buscar ayuda formal. Estos resultados tienen la potencialidad de informar políticas públicas de prevención y atención a la violencia de pareja.

“…Thus, immigrant Latina women who may speak little or no English are likely not receiving IPV screening in health care settings. Given the stigma around help-seeking for IPV (36), screening for IPV in a health care setting is potentially useful as it may be a nonthreatening place for discussing family violence.…”

Objective To evaluate whether participation in the Moms' Empowerment Program (MEP), a 10-week, 10-session intervention designed to provide support and increase access to available community resources for women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV), enhanced the physical health of participants who self-identified as Latina. Methods Mothers of children ages 4–12 who self-identified as Latina and had experienced IPV within the past two years were recruited at three intervention sites in Michigan, Ohio, and Texas, via community postings and referrals from agencies serving IPV-exposed families. Selected study participants ( n = 93) were assigned to one of two groups: Treatment (immediate enrollment in the MEP) or Control (placement on a waitlist with an invitation to participate in the MEP after the 10-week study period). Data were drawn from two structured interviews, one at the time of recruitment for the study (Time One), and one following the intervention or wait period (Time Two). Results After controlling for age, educational attainment, and partner residence (living with a violent partner at the time of the interview), multilevel modeling revealed that improvement in physical health over time was significantly greater among women who participated in the intervention relative to controls. Conclusions These data suggest that enhancing interpersonal connectedness and access to resources positively affects physical health for Latinas experiencing IPV.
