Family Lens Analysis of Law number 30364 to prevent violence

Intrafamily violence is recognized as an important public health problem, which complexity can be approached from different perspectives. The family lens is considered more efficient in the evaluation of a phenomenon because, instead of only considering an isolate person, it recognizes the importance of family relationships and responsibilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify whether the perspective based on which Law 30364 has been enacted incorporates the family lens. The present research follows a mixed design of sequential explanatory type. For the quantitative part, the Guide for the Analysis of the Family Lens in Public Policies version 1.1 was used as an instrument and the sample consisted of nine experts. For the qualitative part, a semi-structured interview was used as an instrument and three experts participated. The main quantitative results show that no criterion considered in the guide obtained a score higher than 50 points. Being the highest rating score of a mean of 44.4 and the lowest of 11.1; these results, were mostly corroborated through the qualitative analysis of categories, which main findings are developed in the corresponding section. It could be evidenced, after the experts' assessment, that the evaluated law does not consider the family lens despite the contribution it could make to understand this problematic.
