Therefore, it is essential to study the phenomenon in order to develop instruments and tools.

To this end, an RSL, a qualitative and a quantitative study is carried out, and a questionnaire on traumatic events associated with GBV is created and validated. Finally, an intervention program is evaluated through a quasi-experimental study, comparing three groups.
