Stereotypes and social representations of men that frame social imaginaries in gender violence against women

Abstract

A reflection of the man from the mistreatment behaviors manifested in the woman due to alcohol, jealousy, economic dependency and parenting patterns. This study seeks to describe the aggressive stereotypes of men in the Municipality of Soacha, Comuna 4, Altos de Cazucá, with the historical-hermeneutical approach of descriptive study; data collection was carried out through 6 in-depth interviews and non-participant observation of two women victims of abuse. Therefore, the research proposes a profile of the abusive man according to the behaviors and typologies exposed, trying to group these men based on their personal characteristics and styles of violence. Consequently, it is necessary to delve into this social problem and learn beyond a stereotype or common image of the abusive person.
