DE LA PENA LEIYA, Adriana Angélica. A critical perspective of psychosocial practices in gender violence: case Barranquilla. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.2, pp.327-342. ISSN 0123-417X.

The problem of violence against women is approached, which is considered by the World Health Organization a public health issue in the face of which social and human sciences should give answers in their understanding and intervention in order to eradicate it, as the third objective of the Millennium proposes. From an analytic case study, a total of eight programs of psychosocial intervention in gender violence GV are approached - implemented in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia- which when compared permits to establish how they operate, to finally provide a series of proposals to be taken into account towards the exercise of intervention in this issue. The results highlight women as the main user in the programs; and the workshop as the most widely deployed technical intervention. The contents are structured around women and defend their rights, intimate partner violence and domestic violence and women empowerment.

Keywords : gender violence; domestic violence; psychosocial intervention; intervention programs.
