Intrafamily violence: impact on the social development of the Galo plaza neighborhood, Canton Quevedo, 2024

Abstract

Domestic violence against priority care groups is not a recent problem,
rather it is a serious problem that has been developing since ancient
times at a social level by some families that in one way or another have
suffered some type of violence in its different types. The objective of
this study is to characterize domestic violence in the Galo Plazo neighborhood of the Quevedo canton and its impact on the social development of this community. The methodology used is qualitative, which
allows the problem to be analyzed from its own context. Interviews
and observations are applied to 16 subjects (13 male and 13 female) resident members of the community. The main results show evidence of domestic violence characterized by physical, psychological, economic
and psychological violence mostly in these families in the community,
which affect the social and cultural development of the daily life of
these families. Although in Ecuador there is legal regulation that sanctions domestic violence, this type of aggression continues to occur very often in families in the Galo Plazo neighborhood, which hinders the comprehensive development of children, children and adolescents and members of the community in general.
