“…Our results confirm that boys are more likely to engage in active transportation to school compared to girls, as has been found in other studies [4,6]. The literature has evidenced that gender is one of the personal attributes that influence the appropriation and safety perception of public spaces, this fact produces disparities in its use [46,47], due to sexual harassment [48,49] and violence [50]. These potential risks may influence parent's decisions about mobility to school inhibiting active mobility; particularly in regions such as South America, where a deterioration in peacefulness has been occurring since several years ago [51].…”

Active mobility to school (AMS) has been identified as a pivotal element in promoting health and physical activity during childhood, adolescence, and beyond. However, the importance of AMS is often downplayed or disregarded in urban and transportation planning, especially in Latin American cities. Factors such as cultural and political dynamics, socioeconomic conditions, urban and social environments, household and individual characteristics, and parental perceptions and attitudes collectively shape the mobility behavior of schoolchildren. This research analyzes the outcomes of a study on AMS at public schools in Cuenca and Ibarra (Ecuador), through the lens of the Socio-Ecological Model framework. The findings show that 47% of students from schools in Cuenca and 26% from Ibarra engage in active commuting to school for at least part of their journey. Key factors correlated with AMS include gender (individual dimension), travel duration, household socioeconomic characteristics, and parental attitudes towards active mobility (household dimension), as well as street-level attributes and land use density surrounding schools (urban environment dimension). This study offers three significant contributions: a detailed portrayal of student mobility behavior at six public schools in Cuenca and Ibarra, an exploration of the factors linked with active commuting, and a methodology for estimating land-use parameters.

“…Both resources, both strategies and resilience, are effective in the face of the grief process at a general level (Rodríguez, 2018;Garfias-Royo et al, 2023;Mansoori et al, 2023), especially the type of grief exacerbated by violence, which is felt to be produced in the context of internal armed conflict (Acosta, 2018;Castillo & Palma, 2016;Crișan et al, 2023).…”

In the context of the Colombian armed conflict, women have been the most affected, with the grief process being the most deficient due to the lack of psychosocial support. The objective of this study was to describe resilience and coping strategies in a sample of women victims of the armed conflict and their relationship with the stages of grief experienced. The methodology used was a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, ex post facto approach. Twenty women victims of the armed conflict who were in different stages of grief due to the loss of their loved ones as a result of the armed conflict participated in the study. The Resilience Scale SV-RES for youth and adults by Saavedra and Villalta (2008), the Coping Strategies Inventory adapted by Cano, Rodríguez, and García (2006), and the Grief Phases Scale by Miaja and Moral (2013) were used. Results: Deficiencies in the use of coping strategies were identified in the study sample, with a higher frequency of use of non-functional strategies. Women who were in more advanced stages of grief showed the use of more functional coping strategies. No correlation between stages of grief and time since loss was identified. Conclusions: The results suggest that the process of coping and grief elaboration in the sample of women victims of the armed conflict is not related to the time elapsed since their loss, but rather to the use of personological resources.

“…Previous studies found that the silencing of victims occurs due to biomedical dominance (Sweeney et al, 2019), and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases reflects the severity of children exploitation (Shoji & Tsubota, 2022). Therefore, improving infrastructure can be a step forward in preventing violence against women while not leaving the responsibility for safety and protection solely (Garfias Royo et al, 2023). Social constructs behind the occurrence of violence against children and women were not analyzed.…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate social construction of children and women within the cycle of violence and exploitation in the Gowa Regency, Indonesia. Theoritical Framework: The high incidence of violence against children and women is a worrying concern in Gowa Regency, Indonesia. In this context, the influence of power and the operation of social constructs contribute to the increased occurrences related to the internalization of values within a society. Previous results were analyzed from a medical perspective but did not examine this crime as part of social construction. Method: A case study method was used by conducting interviews with 18 children and women in the regency. The data analysis method was conducted in stages: (1) thematic analysis of interview results to identify main categories related to violence against children and women, (2) analysis of the main themes in each sample; (3) cross-theme analysis to determine commonalities and differences, allowing for the generalization of themes across the three cases, children labor exploitation, and women as victims of divorce. Result and Conclusion: The results showed that there was a distressing phenomenon of children being socially constructed as sex workers. A critical contributing factor to verbal violence against women in households is the normalization of such violence by husbands within the framework of marital relationships. Implication of Research: The process of social construction, with its stages of internalization, objectification, and externalization, preserved the image of women as victims of violence within the confines of official marriages. Originality/value: This study presented the theoretical concept of violence against children and women at a substantive level.
