Resumen
Descripción
The authors present an overview of
gender-based violence (GBV) in Latin America, with special
emphasis on good practice interventions to prevent GBV or
offer services to its survivors or perpetrators. Intimate
partner violence and sexual coercion are the most common
forms of GBV and these are the types of GBV that they
analyzes. GBV has serious consequences for women's
health and well-being, ranging from fatal outcomes, such as
homicide, suicide and AIDS-related deaths, to non-fatal
outcomes, such as physical injuries, chronic pain syndrome,
gastrointestinal disorders, complications during pregnancy,
miscarriage, and low birth-weight of children.
