Abstract

The present work aims to give an account of the impact that the “Galicia for the reeducation of gender aggressors” program had on 65 male participants classified as primary aggressors of gender violence and cared for in the Attention and Retention Centers located in the municipalities of Atizapán, Ecatepec and Tlalnepantla of the Estado de México. It is a psychological procedure focused on reducing aggression towards the female gender and thereby helping to reduce the rate of femicides. The intervention consisted of conducting a documentary investigation of the cases in order to proceed with the application of the appropriate treatment (flexible and adaptable). The duration was between six to eight months, in accordance with the legal sanctions stipulated in the cases. In the results, a decrease in aggressive behavior was observed in the participants through the improvement of everyday problem solving skills, communication with the female gender and the reduction of violent behaviors against the female gender.
