Los 16 D\u00edas de activismo contra la violencia de g\u00e9nero es una campa\u00f1a internacional utilizada por activistas de todo el mundo (del 25 de noviembre al 10 de diciembre) como estrategia organizativa para pedir la eliminaci\u00f3n de todas las formas de violencia de g\u00e9nero.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Este a\u00f1o, compartiremos nuestra investigaci\u00f3n sobre los v\u00ednculos entre las normas masculinas da\u00f1inas y ocho formas diferentes de comportamiento violento, as\u00ed como conocimientos y recomendaciones para eliminar todas las formas de violencia.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Si bien no hay nada inherente al hecho de ser hombre que impulse la violencia, la forma en que socializamos a los ni\u00f1os en sus identidades como hombres y lo que esperamos de ellos (es decir, las normas masculinas de la sociedad) est\u00e1n innegablemente vinculados con la violencia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

De hecho, a menudo se cr\u00eda, socializa y anima a los ni\u00f1os y a los hombres a usar la violencia de alguna forma; en general, los hombres y los ni\u00f1os tienen una probabilidad desproporcionada de perpetrar la mayor\u00eda de las formas de violencia y de morir por homicidio y suicidio. Sin embargo, la investigaci\u00f3n afirma que esta violencia es prevenible, la igualdad de g\u00e9nero es alcanzable y las normas e ideas no violentas sobre la masculinidad son prevalentes y poderosas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Informe de la Fundaci\u00f3n Equimundo y Oak <\/span>Normas masculinas y violencia: estableciendo conexiones<\/span><\/i><\/a>, examines the links between harmful masculine norms and eight forms of violent behavior. This second blog in the <\/span>Estableciendo las conexiones, <\/span><\/i>16 d\u00edas de activismo<\/span> series focuses on physical violence against children. It breaks down the facts on this issue, explores links between physical violence against children and other forms of violence, and provides recommendations for action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Violencia f\u00edsica contra los ni\u00f1os<\/b><\/h3>\n

Los hechos<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

Violence against children includes a wide range of behaviors, from corporal punishment (which many in a given society may consider a normal part of raising a child) to more extreme manifestations of physical violence, to acts of emotional abuse and neglect. According to United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) data from 30 countries, <\/span>nearly half of all children aged 12 to 23 months are subjected to corporal punishment and\/or verbal abuse at home<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Violence is also a mechanism by which parents control the gender performance of\u00a0children, calling them out or punishing them for acting in\u00a0“unacceptable”\u00a0masculine or feminine\u00a0ways. Violence within the childhood home is also a primary means by which children see, learn, and internalize the hierarchical power imbalances among and within genders.<\/span><\/p>\n

As decades of research into the intergenerational transmission of violence have demonstrated, children who witness or experience violence in the home are significantly more likely to perpetrate or experience domestic violence as adults, compared to those whose childhood homes are violence-free. Violence against children, then, doubly entrenches the gender order, traumatizing children directly at the same time as it increases their likelihood of following similar behavioral patterns with their own children, as well as the likelihood of men\u2019s use of violence against partners and acceptance of gender-based violence as \u201cnormal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Las intersecciones\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

En interacci\u00f3n con las caracter\u00edsticas individuales y las experiencias de vida de los cuidadores y los ni\u00f1os, hay tres factores convincentes que sustentan la violencia contra los ni\u00f1os:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pobreza y desigualdades estructurales<\/span><\/i> dan forma a los entornos de atenci\u00f3n y con frecuencia afectan si los padres, las familias y otros cuidadores tienen o no los medios para cuidar adecuadamente a sus hijos de maneras no violentas y sin estr\u00e9s.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Normas culturales y sociales<\/span><\/i> are related to child-rearing practices and the acceptability of corporal punishment and other forms of violence against children (and against women, gender non-conforming individuals, and between men and boys). The degree to which violence against\u00a0women, including and in addition to transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming individuals, and children\u00a0is normalized in society challenges the narrative that perpetrators are \u2018monsters\u2019 \u2013 particularly \u201cbad men\u201d \u2013 or that the problem is not cultural and societal.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Normas y din\u00e1micas de g\u00e9nero<\/span><\/i> underpin violence against children, specifically the ideas that boys need to be raised to be physically tough and emotionally stoic, while girls should be fragile, inferior, and\/or subordinate to boys and men.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
