Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify whether the cultural approach influences the naturalization of domestic violence in the fathers and mothers beneficiaries of the Proyecto Salesiano Granja “Don Bosco”, in its two modalities of intervention prevention and institutional foster care; population demographically belonging to the rural sector, where the main problem is based on cultural beliefs that have come to naturalize violence in the family system. It has been considered important to take into account the variables of naturalization of intrafamily violence and the cultural approach, because it is a palpable problem in the investigated population, the methodology applied is qualitative and quantitative through the use of 2 instruments that they allowed us to verify the hypothesis raised, with the participation of 45 people of the masculine and feminine gender. Tungurahua has established itself as the third province nationwide with high rates of domestic violence, a problem that deserves timely intervention by government organizations. The results obtained indicate that there is a relationship between the cultural approach and the naturalization of domestic violence, built, sustained and encouraged through the social and cultural construct that prevails in families specifically in the rural sector.
