Preventive Socialization Against Violence Against Women in Schools

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents findings of different research projects about the prevention of violence against women. The papers presented have been funded under competitive research programs using the communicative methodology. The papers combine theories and research shedding new light on how to solve conflicts associated to gender violence and creating safe schools by means of the community involvement.
Those have identified some elements for preventing gender violence and actions grounded in these elements can be applied in different contexts producing positive results. The main topics of the three papers are: Impact of the Spanish law on gender violence on Teacher Education Programs; Men’s movements fighting gender violence; and a dialogic approach for the prevention of gender violence in schools.
