ABSTRACT Resumen en Inglés
The present investigation had as its thematic axis domestic violence against
women, given that this has become a matter of attention and prioritization for
public and private entities, taking into account the consequences it
generates not only emotionally and psychologically, but also economic and
social level, in addition to the alarming figures that are reported on this
scourge every day.
Of the total number of participants, 50% stated that they had suffered
psychological violence in the last 24 months, 41.6% economic violence and
8.3% physical violence. These results show the great impact that domestic
violence has on the mental health and integral development of the victims,
since most of them present insecurity, fear, anxiety, concealment of
information, sweating, denial and other elements that denote their low self-
esteem. It is also observed that the majority usually live in vulnerable
conditions with many economic restrictions and without defined life projects.
According to the bibliographic review carried out and the results of the
questionnaire, the field diary and the interview, it is concluded that domestic
violence against women is due to different factors or causes, mainly
behavioral patterns of biological, psychological origin. and/or cultural, which
in turn are related to high rates of poverty, illiteracy and family dysfunction.
