This book is derived from the line of generation and application of knowledge Quality of Life, Violence and Disasters and from the specific project "Gender, diversity and culture of peace" carried out at the Faculty of Psychology of the Universidad Veracruzana in agreement with CREN Tuxpan.

It consists of four chapters that cover the problem, frame of reference, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion and recommendations.The experience of writing this book was extremely significant, as it is a very real topic that many women live with; however, each of the participants had unique perspectives and experiences, therefore different, and that is what strengthened this book.
