Influence of gender stereotypes associated to violence against women

Abstract

As an academic assignment in the National Reality course, this research deals with the influence of gender stereotypes and how they relate to the different types of violence against women. It describes which gender stereotypes exists and what they consist of. Likewise, it clarifies the different existing categories of violence against women and the basic terminology for the understanding of this topic. This lays the foundation for the identification of the several world views and perceptions that students in an elective course at Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador have, as it is the case of the Competencies Seminar, in regards to the object of study.
