Social perceptions of gender violence in Corozal, Belize. Public responsibility or private matter?

Abstract

The qualitative research that radiates around social perceptions of Belizean citizens in this investigation gives a potent voice to unrevealed thoughts, opinions and ideas of individuals from many contexts and walks of life. The knowledge and perception of these individuals with respect to the information, laws and institutional mechanisms about gender violence in Belize, uncover fundamental material for new solutions to this social issue.
