Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate what impact social prejudices have when women who are abused by their spouse try to end the abuse, during their empowerment process, as a focus of social work practice. The issue has always been topical, but the context brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic made it clear that during stressful times the level of abuse rises. In order to facilitate the intervention of the social worker and to refine their methods in casework, we find it is necessary that some aspects of the empowerment process in such cases be clarified: social prejudices that affect the perception of the status that abused women have in the eye of society must be identified, in order to be able to explore what obstacles these women need to surpass if they wish to evolve beyond the status of being a victim.
