Study of Gender Violence from an Intersectional Approach in the Province of Jaén

The project “Study of Gender Violence from an Intersectional Approach in the Province of Jaén” will be carried out thanks to funding granted by the Jaén Provincial Council and the Institute of Jaén Studies. Its objective is to analyze gender violence taking into account the diversity of social, cultural, and economic factors that influence the experiences of women in the province.

In this regard, different groups of women who have suffered gender-based violence will be studied, paying attention to their perceptions, experiences, and the difficulties they face in the reporting process. To this end, various focus groups will be conducted , contacting local associations that represent each of the women's groups targeted by the evaluation. Likewise, the most frequent types of violence, attitudes of justification, and the influence of certain myths about love will be addressed in order to identify specific risks and vulnerabilities from an intersectional perspective.

Furthermore, the project will allow for the formulation of proposals aimed at improving existing prevention and intervention plans and programs in the province of Jaén, promoting more effective care adapted to the diversity of victims.

The results will contribute to incorporating a cross-cutting approach based on equity, inclusion, and diversity into public policies, in line with European and national guidelines on equality. This initiative will generate valuable knowledge with practical applications for advancing the fight against gender-based violence in the province of Jaén.
