Methodologies recommended for education in this issue.

Categories Testimonial Participant
Use of social networks I would give information through social networks. I think it’s what’s used the most, young people are aware of that, through YouTube, some interesting program…. I don’t know. But with information about dating conflict using social networks. P2M-D8
Visual material People talk a lot about confidence and communication…but it would need to be more experiential, less theoretical…maybe expose cases of situations that happen that we’ve seen and that are familiar to us, because young people respond more to visuals than talks…because they listen but don’t understand them…so, they should capture our attention, be eye-catching, so we can put it into practice in our lives. P5F-D5
Talk about experiences that help identify violent relationships Many professionals talk as if they had memorized a list of things, and that’s boring, I’d like it to be more natural, that they talk about experiences. P1M-D5
I think the first step is to know how to identify when you’re being subjected to violence. It’s important to realize that you’re being attacked so you can stop it…. It’s the first step, it’s the way to stop normalizing that situation. P13F-D1
Dramatization or theater Maybe a dramatization, like a visual representation of what can cause, for example, a small push at the beginning of the relationship to end in the death of the relationship, in serious cases, if it isn’t stopped in the beginning. Something like that. P5F-D7
Working on healthy relationships while dating I think that respect for the other person, for their decisions and tastes, so that both people feel good. P5M-D5
The main thing in a relationship is trust and above all honesty…. Those are expressions of love instead of being like: “Give me your password.” P4F-D2
My mom tells me that you have to have a balance of everything. If he gives you something, I give it, too. If he gives me something, I give it, too. And if he doesn’t give it, I don’t give it, either. Because my mom says that if he treats me badly, I can’t treat him like the best thing in the world, either. P3F-D8
It’s important to value ourselves, we have to know and trust how much we are worth, how much I should love myself, and how much I deserve…we should respect ourselves because if you don’t respect yourself, no one will. P1F-D1
Or also, like…for example, returning to the topic of signs of love (the boyfriend asking to have sex as a sign that the girl loves him). For me to say no, not yet, that’s a boundary that has to be made, my respect. P3M-D8
Campaigns Preventive campaigns on what can cause dating violence.
Make campaigns, let’s tell a couple that they can count on help from the police or people, let’s tell them in cases of physical abuse, yes, you can count on help and that people will help you.
