Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects women of all ages and conditions. To address this problem from a gender and human rights perspective, there are specialized services that provide psychosocial-legal care for women facing situations of domestic violence. These services not only offer support, but also promote the exercise of citizenship and the full enjoyment of women’s rights.
Psychosocial-legal care services are safe and confidential spaces designed to provide comprehensive support to women living in situations of domestic violence. These services recognize the importance of addressing not only the legal dimensions of the problem, but also the emotional and psychological ones.
The goal is to provide an environment where women can feel heard, understood and supported on their journey to recovery and independence.
From a gender and human rights perspective, these services recognize that domestic violence is a manifestation of gender inequality and discrimination. They focus on understanding the power dynamics involved in these situations and giving women the tools to break the cycle of abuse.
By addressing the deep roots of gender-based violence, it seeks to create a lasting impact on women’s lives and on society as a whole.
