Sistematización de la experiencia “Fortalecimiento del proyecto de vida en mujeres jefas de hogar con antecedentes de violencia familiar en el Asentamiento Renacer 2 de Julio del Municipio de Popayán”

Abstract

This document refers to the comprehension and approach within the systematic experience of six women who are the head of their household with background on domestic violence. These six women belong to the July 2nd Rebirth Township, also known as “Asentamiento Renacer 2 de Julio” in the Popayan municipality, who were also part of a Family Advisory Council which guidelines were based on the Participatory Action Research (PAR), known in Spanish as “Investigación Acción Participative (IAP);” which created a cross-cutting gender approach. The systematization of experience took place by using two main thematic axes called: “knowledge of rights” and “strengthening of networks,” as well as two objectives posed within the systematization. The first objective was to identify the meaningful learning of the participants around the knowledge on women’s rights and their conditions for viability; the second objective was to know the network configuration around domestic violence. The first objective was to identify the meaningful learning of the participants around the knowledge on women’s rights and their conditions for viability; the second objective was to know the network configuration around domestic violence. These results were significant at a personal, social and family level allowing resilient and generative processes focused on protective strategies, such as; conflict resolution establishing social support network, life project and strengthening affective and communication ties within their children.
