Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2023-24

Gender roles are learned throughout development. Through gender roles and stereotypes, which privilege the male, and are transmitted culturally and symbolically from the machista and patriarchal culture, people learn what it means to be a man and a woman, as well as the characteristics of gender relations. This learning is informal, and therefore learned unconsciously. Girls and boys are especially sensitive and susceptible to these stereotypes, which have traditional aspects, but there are also renewed ones, such as, for example, the hyper-sexualization of childhood and the eroticization of violence. These roles provoke inequalities and imbalances between men and women, which are perceived as "standard" in a collective thinking that normalizes and makes them invisible. Violence against women is a consequence of these inequalities and it is important to make it visible in order to combat it.
Violence against women is exercised throughout all stages of development, it is gender violence and sexual violence, because it is exercised both for gender reasons and because of and on women's sexuality.
We will delve into one of the forms of violence that is most widespread in our society and which is paradoxically the most visible: sexual violence against women in relationships. We will analyze the beliefs and sexual stereotypes that provoke and perpetuate this type of violence.
