Abstract

The present research work aims to analyze the increase in the levels of gender violence in the intrafamily sphere, its consequences and the coping mechanisms produced during the COVID - 19 health emergency. Gender violence is a social problem that implies the violation of the human rights, which can be developed in different scenarios of everyday life such as in the personal, family, and social spheres. It is stated that through acts of violence it can be physical, psychological, sexual, and economic, leaving consequences that significantly affect a large population. During the present investigation we will focus on the rate of gender violence in women between 20 and 50 years of age in the Calderón sector. During confinement due to the COVID-19 health emergency, gender-based violence has intensified especially in the home, where families had to adapt to a new type of coexistence, limiting public spaces and easy mobility of the affected people, a situation that I reinforce isolation, make it difficult to access support systems and repeated coping strategies, focused on cognition, emotion, and behavior. This research improved a quantitative-descriptive methodological perspective, where the survey was used as an instrument, achieving the collection of information.
