Abstract

This work presents a preventive intervention against dating violence based on gender and ecological perspectives. Its objective was to strengthen personal skills which favor good treatment in dating relationships in young women. An eight-session workshop was run by female psychologists in charge of facilitating participatory intervention strategies to a group of eight participants, obtaining favorable results from them. It is concluded that selective prevention is currently a contribution to solve the problem addressed, and evidenced the material and subjective impact of neoliberalism on the increased risk of being affected by this issue. It is suggested to deepen selective prevention and to diversify the participating groups in future interventions.
