Main Article Content
Abstract
Women worldwide are one of the most vulnerable groups. Due to lack of education and economic independence, many women are victims of violence. This research analyzes how education and work has some effect on the reduction of violence in the home. For this, a qualitative study was carried out where three low-income families were worked in Duran, Ecuador for a period of 9 months. Also, the study is composed of a quantitative part, where the IMAGES questionnaire was used. 150 people were interviewed and interviewed in Guayaquil and Duran. We found that both education and labor empowerment in women have a positive effect in reducing family violence.
