Abstract
La violencia de género se ha convertido en los últimos tiempos en un problema social y de salud pública de gran preocupación, debido al aumento de casos de violencia hacia la mujer y en casos extremos de feminicidio. Los datos a nivel mundial, nacional y regional dan cuenta de esta situación, y han generado lecturas desde distintas perspectivas. El presente estudio abordó la problemática desde la perspectiva de las concepciones y vivencias de los pobladores de la localidad Ascensión de Guarayos, en Santa Cruz, Bolivia, para poder localizar en estas construcciones sociales prácticas que sostienen y reproducen la violencia o aquellas que la limitan. El estudio realizado, desde el enfoque cualitativo, siguió la metodología de la Teoría Fundamentada, que permite construir a partir de los dichos de los actores, lineamientos de una teoría local sobre un tema, en este caso, la violencia de género. Por la extensión de trabajo, en el presente artículo se presentarán solo algunos de los resultados del estudio, que corresponden a las concepciones y vivencias sobre la violencia física hacia las mujeres, y las implicancias que las significaciones de la violencia tienen en la vida cotidiana de los actores de esta población.
Gender-based violence has become in the past years a social and public health problem of great concern due to the increase in cases of violence against women and, in extreme cases, "feminicides" (female homicides). Data at the global, national and regional levels reflects this situation and has generated interpretations from different perspectives. The present study addressed the issue from the perspective of the conceptions and experiences of the inhabitants of a town of Santa Cruz, Ascensión de Guarayos, in order to identify practices in these social constructs that support and reproduce violence or those practices that limit violence. The study, executed with a qualitative approach, followed the grounded theory methodology, which enables the construction, based on theactors' statements, of guidelines of a local theory on a subject, in this case gender-based violence. Due to the work's magnitude, in the present article only some of the results of the study will be presented; these correspond to the conceptions and experiences related to physical violence towards women and the implications that the significance of the violence have in the daily lives of the actors of this population.
