Implementación de una guía de abordaje oportuno para la prevención de violencia de género en niños de los centros de desarrollo infantil del cantón el empalme período 2021-2022.

Abstract

The development of a guide for a timely approach to the prevention of gender violence in children in the child development centers of the canton of El Empalme, was based on a mixed approach; with a population composed of two groups, the first being the 153 parents of the children attending the child development centers and the second group made up of 28 educators. Parameters of action were established for the management of gender violence in children, recognizing and guaranteeing the rights of minors regardless of their sex, gender or age; the aim is to ensure their mental, physical and emotional health, guaranteeing a dignified and safe quality of life. Educators were trained to be a link with the families of boys and girls in the Child Development Centers on issues of violence prevention. Among the main discoveries, it was found that boys and girls suffer some type of mistreatment at home by their fathers, mothers or relatives; however, it is not perceived as a problem since families have an ingrained generational parenting model in which reprimanding with blows and insults is the best way to raise exemplary and brilliant children, as well as the lack of empathy, family stress due to an irregular and unstable economic situation, were also found to be other factors that trigger violence. Finally, the guide was implemented through training sessions for educators.
