Summary

This text seeks to shed light on new postmodern social explanations regarding the unequal social interaction between men and women in their personal relationships and its consequences. It is considered necessary here to end the status quo on discussion of Genderbased Domestic Violence (GDV), which has hitherto centered mostly on conflictual interpersonal relations owing to gender struggles and not on the structurally and historical unequal social constructions handed down through the twentieth century. We start from a question: How can GDV among women in the Mexican state of Jalisco be characterized? Characteristics of GDV involve series of aggressions perpetrated against a woman by a person with whom she has daily interactions emotional, economic, sexual in a private space (residence, room, vehicle, kitchen, or outside the home). The hypothesis proposed is that GDV derives from a close preexisting relationship between victim and aggressor, from a condition of subordination and power between unequal parties.

Characteristics of GDV involve series of aggressions perpetrated against a woman by a person with whom she has daily interactions emotional, economic, sexual in a private space (residence, room, vehicle, kitchen, or outside the home). The hypothesis proposed is that GDV derives from a close preexisting relationship between victim and aggressor, from a condition of subordination and power between unequal parties. For many women, it is in the home, contrary to social and personal expectations, where aggression is mainly experienced. Nevertheless, the fact that women participate in a formal and informal labor market continues

Quarterly briefs

Without a doubt: pandemic. Covid-19 has had a significant impact on clinical trials, as they are developing at a breakneck pace. The approvals of the regulatory authorities have increased their speed, as well as the growth of multiple groups of specialists interested in helping to find treatments and solutions for this new one that all this year has left us amazed, locked up, broke, and confused if we are lucky. Given the speed and extent of news production on this topic, the rest of the news will not deal with it. Here you can find some briefs of coronavirus-free clinical research news:
