Masculinidad en hombres victimas de violencia en pareja: Cuatro estudios de caso desde la homosexualidad y heterosexualidad.

Abstract

The present investigation explores masculinity in male victims of intimate partner violence: four case studies from homosexuality and heterosexuality through a qualitative methodology with an analytical comparison technique. During the research process, the dependent variables are evaluated, such as factors that were part of the social construction of masculinity, types of violence experienced by the victim involved, modifications in the social construction of masculinity. It was evidenced how the social construction influences the concept of masculinity, in family and gender roles where this problem is invisible in society thanks to the stereotypes that the affected population is afraid of reporting, also the entities in charge do not take this problem seriously. Society must be trained to provide adequate intervention to victims to face this issue without taboo since these stereotypes have been modified in recent years, including equality policies to implement the same consequences in the offenders of male victims of intimate partner violence.
