SANCHEZ ZAPATA, Alejandra y CAICEDO MUNOZ, Silvia Cristina. Urban violence and protection strategies of women in Cali (Colombia). Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp.147-164. ISSN 1657-8031.
This piece of research reconstructs the protection strategies in urban contexts from fragments of life histories from two women, victims of the social and political violence. For such a purpose, a feminist methodology in community psychology was used, which recognizes, in the feminist discourse, the life experience as a source of legitimate knowledge (Campbell & Wasco, 2000). The results make evident that women use protection strategies based on the knowledge built in their life experience, their place of origin, and the power relationships. It reveals the relevance of researching on urban violence.
