Rol de las Entidades Religiosas y sus Organizaciones en la Prevención de Violencias Basadas en el Género

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the social work of the religious sector and its perspective on the issue of women's human rights. Part of the recognition made by the Comprehensive Public Policy of Religious Freedom and Cults to religious entities as social actors in the construction of peace, the peaceful resolution of conflicts and the reconstruction of the social fabric, and questions about the possibility that the Evangelical churches, in their role of assisting individuals and families in conflict, can actively participate in promoting the rights of women to a life free of violence. To do this, it examines what are the main challenges faced by this sector to develop social and cultural projects from a human rights perspective, through the formulation of questions such as: what relationship exists between religion and human rights? What role has organized civil society played in promoting and defending women's rights? Is it possible to claim the human rights of women from the Christian doctrine? What is the vision of the evangelical churches in this regard? Finally, ideas are provided to guide sensitization and education processes that promote debates on the aspects that intervene in gender-based violence and how from the religious sector can integrate tools that help to overcome them
