Social Dynamics, Gendered Subjectivities, and Surreptitious Acts of Agency From Women to Face Intimate Partner Violence in a Rural Community of Peru

“…Violence against women causes subjective and social destructiveness (Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS] y Organización Panamericana de la Salud [OPS], 1998; Segato, 2003) and profound mental health conflicts (Hirigoyen, 2006; Velázquez, 2002). However, women do not remain unscathed or passive subjects; contrarily, they perform agency acts to face violent situations (Segato, 2003). In these scenarios, they question themselves, their male partners, and their intimate relationships (Fernández, 1993).…”

Evidencias psicométricas de dos versiones de la escala de violencia en la pareja (EVIPAR y EVIPAR-S) en hombres y mujeres mexicanos

“…Las prevalencias elevadas son una expresión de la gravedad de este fenómeno y lo han posicionado como un problema de salud pública (Sarabia, 2018), lo cual ha derivado en la necesidad de identificarlo, prevenirlo y tratarlo. Por lo anterior, la estandarización y validación de la medición de la violencia de pareja es esencial y, para ello, en los últimos años se identifican en la literatura dos marcos teóricos esenciales: el epidemiológico (Oram et al, 2022) y el de género (Johnson, 2011;McKay et al, 2022).…”
