La violencia intrafamiliar y su incidencia en el desarrollo profesional de la mujer

Abstract

Domestic violence represents an enduring social challenge deeply ingrained in society's structure over time. It's characterized by the occurrence of aggressive acts within the family environment, where one individual exercises their will over another. This study focuses on the impact of this issue on the professional development of women, explored from the perspective of Social Work students at Uleam. The primary objective was to identify how domestic violence affects women's professional advancement, with a particular emphasis on their performance in various contexts. The methodology employed for this research was quantitative, utilizing both deductive and inductive approaches. Data collection involved a survey comprising 9 questions directed at 178 students across different academic levels. Results revealed a significant impact of domestic violence on both the workplace and educational spheres, adversely influencing the academic training process and the quality of life for women. Among the key conclusions drawn were traits such as shyness, susceptibility to manipulation, and a tendency to downplay tasks, common characteristics among women who have experienced aggression. Furthermore, the persistent presence of various types of violence, including psychological, physical, sexual, verbal, and gender-based, within the family environment was evident. Ultimately, it is noted that these abuses have a negative impact on the development of women's personal, professional, and parental competencies, as well as their contribution to social well-being.
