“…Males are brought up to be macho and express a tough exterior, fend for themselves, and engage in socialization activities that prove they are strong and indeed boys. This is not the same expectation of girls especially in a matrifocal society; In addition, age differences in the Caribbean economic, social, or cultural context suggest that children of school age more frequently face violence engagement, victimization, and witness as they are in a period of transition to adulthood (Weaver & Maddaleno, 1999 (Blum & Ireland, 2004;Blum et al, 2003). Future research should be conducted to examine if risk and protective factors in this study are significantly associated with youth violence as they are hypothesized and if gender or age moderates the relationships between risk and protective factors and youth violence.…”

“…Sexual abuse is still connected with other behavioral problems, such as the abuse of alcohol and other drugs and unsafe sex with multiple partners (7)(8) . This makes articulation between the health, education and safety areas fundamental, This is a qualitative study, because it intends to work with people, with related social actors and with specific groups (health service users and health professionals), and "... in the first place, these research subjects are theoretically constructed as components of the object of study" (10) .…”

Vianna LAC, Bomfim GFT, Chicone G. Self According to Maslow's hierarchy, after satisfying our physiological needs, we human beings feel safety needs, related to shelter and protection of our physique, family, home and community; next, we feel needs for esteem related to the ego -self-love, self-esteem, self-respect, confidence -need for recognition, appreciation and admiration (3) . The satisfaction of self-esteem needs makes individuals feel confident (about their value, strength, capacity and adequacy), more useful and needed in the world. AUTOESTIMA DE LAS MUJERES QUE SUFRIERON VIOLENCIAS Este estudio cualitativo muestra resultados de oficinas de autoestima realizadas con usuarias (mujeres que sufrieron violencia sexual) y profesionales de instituciones de salud, con objeto de elevar la autoestima de esas mujeres y sensibilizar los profesionales que las asisten. Con las técnicas de la ProgramaciónNon-satisfaction, on the other hand, produces feelings of inferiority, weakness and impotence in individuals.The persistence of these feelings will lead to failures in their trajectory or different pathological processes (4) . Basic needs are interlinked and wellbeing depends on safety: the safer we feel in the environment we are part of, the more our self-esteem will be raised by confidence and respect and, consequently, continue high.Accidents and violence derive from human action or omission, linked up with certain conditioning factors, such as social aspects, which cause health damage and are included in the group of "External Causes", which cover the following accident causes:traffic, work, falls, poisoning, drowning, among others; and intentional causes: aggressions and self-harm.If, on the one hand, the accident curve is directly proportional with technological and urban development, on the other, violence increases in human history and is directly connected with individuals' behavioral and situational matters (5) .It is fundamental to clearly understand that the difference between genders is the organizing element of all inequalities between men and women in the public and private spheres, breaking with the traditional argument that tries to explain the malefemale difference by motherhood and rests on domestic values for women. However, insisting on this difference as the essence of womanhood means maintaining the power relation between genders.Women have increasingly conquered their rights in recent decades, although unequal relations between the sexes still continue, leading to serious problems, the worst of which are assassinations, often resulting from sexual violence against women (1) .One of the most debated issued by the feminist movement is the acquisition process of female identity, which psychology has identified as the enigma of womanhood and, in this context, dependence. This has been pointed out as one of the main obstacles to the advancement of women. Things seem clearer when we refer to economic dependency, or to the living conditions needed to experience autonomy.However, this ground becomes ...
