Secuelas emocionales en mujeres no heterosexuales víctimas de violencia sexual residentes en el municipio de Villavicencio

Resumen

This research proposal seeks to determine the emotional sequelae that sexual violence generates in non-heterosexual women aged between 20 and 40 years in the municipality of Villavicencio (Meta), from the identification of levels of anxiety and depression in victims of this type of aggression. The different forms of sexual violence to which people belonging to the LGBTI population are subjected are used to sanction and punish people who defy traditional norms due to their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, which is accompanied by a psychological damage for those who suffer it, which includes emotional consequences that will persist over time for a long time. Currently, there are no major studies on violence against the LGBTI community in Colombia, so it is necessary to contribute to the contextualized knowledge about sexual violence in non-heterosexual women, in order to address this psychosocial problem. The methodology of this research includes a quantitative exploratory approach that will allow to study and describe in depth this problem that, as mentioned, lacks information and studies. Regarding the research design, a non-experimental design will be implemented, which seeks to expose a situation that is already given to the researcher, having control over the variables that in this case correspond to depression and anxiety.
