Las redes sociales y la percepción de la violencia de género: el papel mediador de la formación en Instagram. Violencia contra la mujer y redes sociales. Estudio sobre la formación específica como factor de protección en Instagram

Abstract

[EN] The digitalization of gender violence and its manifestation in social networks offers a new space of study and action for social education, which must face the special characteristics of this problem. Therefore, the following study focused on examining the role of education in the prevention of this violence within the Instagram platform. To this end, the relationship between the content consumed and generated and the self-perception of male violence during a period of 7 calendar days was qualitatively analyzed in a total of 10 participants who were undergraduate students of Social Education at the University of Salamanca. The results obtained reflect that specific training in the subject constitutes a protective factor for the participants of the study. We conclude that, although education in equality is understood as a protective element in these scenarios, it is necessary to attend to different educational strategies for a greater prevention of risks associated with violence against women.
