Sombras sujetas corazones liberados violencia basada en género y capacidades humanas en mujeres víctimas de violencia de pareja

Abstract

Gender-based violence is a public health problem, and an impairment of the exercise of freedom. It is related to the intention to sustain and maintain control over another person. It tends to escalate and compromise different vital areas. Even leading victims to feel that there is no way out of their situation, which perpetuates various dependencies, undervaluation and submission, and directly affects their human development. Promoting human capabilities such as autonomy, self-determination and self-dependence can strengthen agency in women, which, added to multidimensional self-care practices, leads to improving their self-esteem and self-love, exponentially boosting their desire for change, satisfaction of needs and elevation of consciousness. Developing self-knowledge and self-care in women is essential in preventing violence, releasing limiting beliefs, and building peaceful environments and healthier and more meaningful relationships. Knowing that they are sufficient, useful, capable and valuable makes them more sensitive to the detection of risks and enables them to see themselves as agents of change in their reality and reverse situations of detriment.
