The Critical Path of Women Affected by Family Violence in Latin America

Case Studies From 10 Countries

Montserrat Sagot

University of Costa Rica

This research examined the critical path followed by women from 10 Latin American countries who suffer family violence. It identified the personal and social processes women experience as a result of their help-seeking actions and the kinds of responses found at local services. The study used an action-oriented qualitative methodology with a standard research protocol that was translated and adapted for the various ethnic groups. The results provided community actors with an understanding of the barriers women face in overcoming the obstacles, humiliation, and inadequate responses they encounter along their critical paths.

Key Words: domestic violence • family violence against women • violence in Latin America
