“…In an Italian study, men and women were found to report similar rates of family victimization and victimization by an intimate partner. However, women were more likely to report exposure to more than three kinds of violence and it was above that threshold that the risk of reporting mental suffering was found to be the highest (Romito and Grassi, 2007).…”

“…Also both childhood sexual and physical abuse as well as neglect have been associated with victimization as an adult by non-partners for both sexes (Tjaden and Thoennes, 2000a;Tjaden and Thoennes, 2000b;Coid et al, 2001;Desai et al, 2002;Arias, 2004;Romito and Grassi, 2007;Widom et al, 2008).…”

“…Different kinds of interpersonal violence (e.g., intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, peer victimization) have been associated with both poor physical and psychological health among both men and women (Felitti, Anda, Nordenberg et al, 1998b, a;Brokaw, Fullerton-Gleason, Olson et al, 2002;Campbell, 2002;Coker, Davis, Arias et al, 2002a;Plichta, 2004;Dube, Anda, Whitfield et al, 2005;Romito and Grassi, 2007;Samelius et al, 2007;Wijma, Samelius, Wingren and Wijma, 2007;Ellsberg, Jansen, Heise et al, 2008;Wuest, Merritt-Gray, Ford-Gilboe et al, 2008;Afifi, MacMillan, Cox et al, 2009;Samelius, Wijma, Wingren and Wijma, 2010;Hines and Douglas, 2011).…”

Background: There is a growing understanding that different kinds of interpersonal violence are interrelated. Many victims report experiences of cumulative violence, i.e., being subjected to more than one kind of violent behaviour (sexual, physical, emotional) and/or violence from more than one kind of perpetrator (family members, partners, acquaintances/strangers). To gain a more comprehensive understanding of what violence entails for victims, how victims can be helped and how violence can be prevented, there is a need to learn more about the co-occurrence of violence. Also, despite strong associations repeatedly being found between exposure to violence and the reporting of different kinds of ill-health, only a minority of victims have told health care professionals about their victimization. Less is known about the process of disclosing victimization to health care professionals for men than for women.

“…En todo caso, suponen una parte reducida respecto al total de casos de violencia entre menores; un estudio estadístico realizado por Vicente Félix Mateo, Carmen Godoy Mesas e Ismael Martínez Ruiz (2008) en la provincia de Valencia, por ejemplo, concluye que "Respecto a la violencia sexual, aunque obtiene una baja proporción respecto al resto, constituye una gran amenaza, a la par que genera enorme angustia a todos los miembros de la sociedad en general, y de la comunidad educativa en particular " (2008: 46). Sin embargo, ello no nos debe llevar a minimizar la importancia que hay que concederle, cuando más siendo que los estudios muestran que los efectos de la violencia son diferentes según el sexo (Mercy et al, 2003;Romito y Grassi, 2007).…”

ResumenLos planes de prevención de la violencia en la escuela deben contemplar que esta no solo se manifiesta de manera física, sino también verbal. El lenguaje es, además, el germen del problema, especialmente en los casos de violencia de género, y en esencia aglutina parte de su solución. Reconocemos el papel fundamental de la educación en su atención y vigilancia como premisa para alcanzar la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres. Precisamente con nuestra propuesta, basada en el estudio de programas anti acoso y de prevención de conductas sexistas, consideramos diez pautas de comunicación verbal eficaces para la prevención de la violencia de género y el fomento de la igualdad, dirigidas al profesorado, que deberían asumir las políticas educativas e instituciones escolares.Palabras clave: Prevención, acoso escolar, sexismo, estereotipos sexuales, comunicación verbal, políticas educativas, coeducación, igualdad. AbstractPlans to prevent violence at school should include not only physical but also verbal manifestations. Language is also the source of the problem, especially in cases of gender violence, and essentially brings together part of the solution. We recognize the underlying role of education in violence care and surveillance as a prerequisite for achieving equality between women and men. With our proposal, based on the study of anti-bullying programs and prevention of sexist behavior, we consider ten guidelines of verbal communication for the prevention of gender violence and promoting equality, aimed at teachers and recommended to political educational and educational institutions.
