CHEVEZ-REINOZA, Cándida e MELENGE-ESCUDERO, James Alexander. Young Women in Salvadoran Gangs. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.1, pp.48-73. Epub 14-Abr-2023. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.21.1.5754.
This article describes the results of qualitative research focused on the life stories of a group of young women with the objective of learning about their experiences as members of Salvadoran gangs. The participants were selected from a sociocultural project known as the Center for Social Insertion String Orchestra. The young women created their life stories through in-depth interviews and autobiographical narrative work, which facilitated the identification of four relevant results: the contexts of violence that defined their childhood; the motivations and meanings of gang membership for young women; the violence and gender roles they experience; and their artistic practice as a re-existence that allows them to resignify their lives.
