Explanation of the Post

Dialogic Feminist Gatherings  (DFG) are defined as egalitarian dialogues focused on transforming the language of desire to create possibilities for women who want to question the desires imposed by patriarchal societies by orienting them towards non-violent relationships. DFGs are based on feminist contributions, in particular those aimed at overcoming gender-based violence (GBV), as well as scientifically validated contributions to overcoming violence, scientifically contrasted analyses of the hegemonic socialisation of desire towards violent men in both sporadic and stable relationships, scientifically validated contributions regarding programmes that have demonstrated success in preventive socialisation and egalitarian dialogue promoted by non-hierarchical people (Puigvert, 2016).

The dialogues and reflections of the girls (aged 15 to 18) in Out-of-Home Care after participating in the DFGs show an increase in the competences related to subjects such as attractionchoice and equality in relationships. Results in research imply direct effects on the future nonviolent choices made by these adolescents that will reduce decisively their risk and their friends’s to suffer from gender-based violence (Salceda et al., 2020). Participating in DFGs prevent adolescents from different social and educational backgrounds from experiencing GBV. For women who have already experienced a violent sexual-affective relationship, DFGs provide them with the tools to identify and not choose a violent relationship again. The articles included provide the necessary scientific arguments.

  1. The research ‘Reconstruction of Autobiographical Memories of Violent Sexual-Affective Relationships Through Scientific Reading on Love: A Psycho-Educational Intervention to Prevent Gender Violence’provides evidence for the prevention of gender violence and revictimization, through the reading of the scientific work Radical Love (Gómez, 2004, 2015), which focuses on the social nature of love and attraction in relationships affective-sexual, in the importance of the intersubjective or communicative choice and in the skills necessary for equality in affective-sexual relationships.

  2. Charry Aysanoa et Al. (2021) señalan la importancia de aplicar estrategias de empoderamiento a las mujeres adolescentes. Para ello, realizaron una serie de entrevistas a chicas de este período vital de un poblado de Lima para comprobar el tipo de relaciones afectivas que mantenían, y llegaron a la conclusión de que la violencia de género sufrida procedía de la propia aceptación de las relaciones dañinas, como parte de su conciencia cultural y social. Tras las entrevistas, se observó que las nueve adolescentes que colaboraron en esta investigación fueron más conscientes de sus derechos y de las oportunidades que tienen de construir vínculos sanos. Asimismo, en el marco de esta investigación de Charry Aysanoa et Al. (2021), se proporcionaron estrategias aplicables a su vida diaria en el contexto familiar, escolar y comunitario.

    Por tanto, es fundamental que la reflexión sobre el feminismo sea una constante, tanto en el aula como fuera de ella, porque es necesario que los niños y adolescentes no acepten determinadas actitudes machistas como apropiadas y, para ello, debemos trabajar de forma directa la igualdad y el equilibrio para no sufrir abusos de este tipo y, así, sean personas críticas ante situaciones violentas propias o ajenas.
