De ni\u00f1a hab\u00eda sido testigo de la violencia dom\u00e9stica, viendo c\u00f3mo su madre luchaba con una pareja abusiva mientras criaba a diez hijos, y ella quer\u00eda romper ese ciclo<\/strong>. Sin embargo, tras los primeros a\u00f1os de matrimonio, el exmarido de Mar\u00eda comenz\u00f3 a mostrar un comportamiento agresivo y controlador. La humillaba y le confiscaba el dinero que ella tra\u00eda a casa para mantener a sus tres hijos.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nCon el tiempo, Mar\u00eda* encontr\u00f3 la fuerza para poner fin a su relaci\u00f3n. \u201cNo quer\u00eda que mis hijos pensaran que la violencia dom\u00e9stica es algo normal. Ten\u00eda que ser su ejemplo\u201d, afirma. Llevaba separada de su agresor varios a\u00f1os cuando lleg\u00f3 la pandemia de COVID-19, y su exmarido la oblig\u00f3 a ella y a sus hijos a volver a casa. El comportamiento agresivo volvi\u00f3 a aparecer; el exmarido de Mar\u00eda le confisc\u00f3 el tel\u00e9fono para controlar sus comunicaciones y comenz\u00f3 a ejercer violencia f\u00edsica contra ella. A medida que su exmarido aislaba a Mar\u00eda del mundo exterior, Mar\u00eda tem\u00eda por su vida.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\nEn su primera cita en uno de los Profamilia<\/a><\/strong>\u2019En las cl\u00ednicas de F\u00f2s Feminista, Mar\u00eda* no ten\u00eda intenci\u00f3n de hablar de lo que estaba pasando, pero ellos le preguntaron. Desde 2006, Profamilia, socio dominicano de F\u00f2s Feminista, ha implementado un estrategia de detecci\u00f3n de la violencia de g\u00e9nero<\/strong> con sus usuarias. A todas las mujeres que acuden a una consulta m\u00e9dica o psicol\u00f3gica, sea cual sea el motivo, se les pregunta sobre experiencias que puedan indicar situaciones de violencia. Si el personal de Profamilia detecta signos de maltrato en las usuarias, las deriva a los servicios cl\u00ednicos, psicol\u00f3gicos, legales y sociales que ofrece la organizaci\u00f3n.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n
As\u00ed fue como Mar\u00eda* conoci\u00f3 a Senaya Hern\u00e1ndez, asesora jur\u00eddica de Profamilia. \u201cCuando Senaya se acerc\u00f3 a m\u00ed, empec\u00e9 a sentir que... una mano amiga me iba a proteger<\/strong>, que alguien pudiera escucharme y averiguar qu\u00e9 estaba pasando. Empec\u00e9 a contarle la violencia que hab\u00eda sufrido durante 12 a\u00f1os\u201d, dice Mar\u00eda. <\/span><\/blockquote>\nSenaya brind\u00f3 a Mar\u00eda el apoyo y los conocimientos jur\u00eddicos que necesitaba para llevar su caso ante los tribunales. El camino de Mar\u00eda para protegerse a s\u00ed misma y a sus hijos y para que el agresor rindiera cuentas no ha sido f\u00e1cil. Se ha enfrentado a la violencia institucional tras presentar la denuncia, cuando su propio abogado no la represent\u00f3 adecuadamente en el juicio. Una vez m\u00e1s, Profamilia la apoy\u00f3 para encontrar un camino a seguir.<\/span>\n\nUn poco de historia<\/strong>\n\nFundada en 1966, Profamilia lleva d\u00e9cadas apoyando a las personas en el ejercicio de sus derechos sexuales y reproductivos. Con su c<\/span>A trav\u00e9s de cl\u00ednicas y unidades m\u00f3viles de salud, promueven la equidad de g\u00e9nero al aumentar el acceso a la educaci\u00f3n sexual, los m\u00e9todos anticonceptivos, la atenci\u00f3n prenatal, el apoyo a las v\u00edctimas de violencia de g\u00e9nero y otros servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva, especialmente para las comunidades marginadas de la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana. <\/span>\n
A trav\u00e9s de un enfoque que combina atenci\u00f3n, participaci\u00f3n comunitaria y defensa<\/strong>, Profamilia trabaja para romper la cultura del silencio que rodea a la salud sexual y reproductiva en la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/blockquote>\nEl trabajo de Profamilia es de suma importancia en un pa\u00eds que tiene uno de los <\/span>tasas m\u00e1s altas de feminicidio<\/span><\/a> en Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe y donde <\/span>Una de cada tres mujeres sufre violencia de g\u00e9nero.<\/span><\/a> a lo largo de su vida. Junto con otras organizaciones y movimientos feministas, Profamilia aboga por cambios legales para prevenir y responder mejor a la violencia de g\u00e9nero y proteger la autonom\u00eda corporal de las mujeres, como una nueva <\/span>ley integral sobre la violencia contra las mujeres<\/span><\/a> y el <\/span>e<\/span>Fin de la prohibici\u00f3n total del aborto en el pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\nCon el apoyo de Profamilia, Mar\u00eda* ha podido reconstruir su vida. Ahora vive en un hogar tranquilo y sus hijos est\u00e1n bien en la escuela. Pero esta no es el final de su historia: Mar\u00eda ha estado compartiendo su experiencia con la violencia de g\u00e9nero con la esperanza de apoyar a otras mujeres que puedan estar en peligro. <\/span>\n
\u201cMe siento empoderada emocional y psicol\u00f3gicamente, porque en mi trabajo puedo hablar con otras mujeres que necesitan ayuda. Comparto con ellas parte de mi historia y les digo que acudan a Profamilia, que all\u00ed encontrar\u00e1n ayuda, como yo la encontr\u00e9\u201d.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/blockquote>\nVea la historia:<\/strong><\/em>\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/xLfGgA-VU3g?si=j8SdV_XD8elqZDQX\n\n
