dc.description.abstractViolence against women and girls (VAWG) has negative impacts on physical and mental health. Health care settings provide a unique opportunity to identify VAWG survivors, provide critical support services, and prevent future harm. VAWG has intergenerational effects: boys who witness intimate partner violence (IPV) at home are more likely to grow up to perpetrate violence themselves. And girls with childhood exposure to IPV are more likely to experience violence in later relationships. The health sector can play a role in educating clients and the broader community about VAWG as a human rights violation and major public health issue.en
dc.description.abstractEsta nota sectorial estudia la integración de iniciativas de prevención y respuesta a la violencia contra mujeres y niñas en el sector de la salud .La violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas es un problema complejo de salud pública y de derechos humanos, con efectos negativos en la salud física y mental. La exposición a la violencia se ha vinculado a múltiples resultados adversos para la salud física de las mujeres, incluyendo traumatismos agudos, dolor crónico, enfermedades gastrointestinales y problemas ginecológicos. Las consecuencias en la salud mental pueden incluir el riesgo de sufrir depresión, trastorno de estrés postraumático y abuso de sustancias. Los centros de atención de salud ofrecen una oportunidad única para identificar a las sobrevivientes de la VCMN, proveerles servicios de apoyo críticos y prevenir perjuicios futuros. Aunque la mayor parte de ellas nunca pide ayuda, el sector de la salud suele ser el primer punto de contacto para quienes buscan servicios de cuidados y asistencia. Las actividades de prevención y respuesta a la VCMN se deberán incorporar en planes, políticas y directrices nacionales, protocolos institucionales, programas de estudio de medicina y enfermería, centros de atención de salud, etc. Es esencial la coordinación de los sectores que proveen servicios legales, judiciales y sociales para garantizar que las sobrevivientes sean remitidas a todos los servicios necesarios para hacer frente a la violencia y asegurar su recuperación.es
