"From the social sciences, many authors reveal that childhood and adolescence are the result of historical and cultural constructions," refers in one chapter the Gender Handbook for Children and Adolescents, presented at the end last year.
The new study was conducted by sociologist and psychologist Irene Castillo Luis Azia, both members of the Group of Social Studies, an NGO working in actions and campaigns for vulnerable groups and was co-edition of the Cultural Center of Spain in Buenos Aires.
Gender Handbook for Children and Adolescents is a tool that provides information for parents, teachers, children and adolescents on gender issues, violence and human rights. The work seeks to integrate all aspects to be taken into account to build a more egalitarian childhood and adolescence, in which gender roles are not the cause of discrimination and violence.
"The patriarchal culture encourages the abuse of power, communication top-down fostering dialogue and preventing the forms of physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and property. Thus, authoritarian relationships are based more on fear than affection "says the report as an explanation for the fact that" violence physics is considered a suitable method for learning, petitioned to correct boys and girls. "
During the presentation of the work, which was held at the Cultural Center of Spain in Buenos Aires, sociologist Irene Castillo said that the text attempts to "bring a shared reading for adults and adults, as they sometimes do not know how to address certain issues and we lack knowledge."
In turn, Claudio Azia invited to think about the value of the questions since "they are the first step to access to knowledge." Thus, the authors commented that the new thought-provoking work using the techniques of the game as a learning tool. That's why the Gender Handbook for Children and Adolescents provides 25 different games to exercise the concepts related to gender, throughout the work.
"A culture that legitimizes the abuse of power allows the family abuse that sometimes leads many children to the hospital or death, and disclaims frequently and those responsible for the punishment he should receive. reproduce battered individuals, almost always, the chain of violence in other generations, "says the new work.
Undoubtedly the Gender Handbook for Children and Adolescents is intended as a tool to help a society without discrimination, rather fair and without violence.
Perhaps the open letter published authors accurately reflect the objective of the emerging work: "Our spirit is encouraging approach roads where, before each question young people, adults do not evade answers or opinions. For the Instead, every question, every doubt them and they deserve that at least the adults and we stop and we strive to try to join them and accompany them in search of answers. "
