Familia poliamorosa, género y violencia intrafamiliar

Abstract

Polyamory is the philosophy and practice of loving several people simultaneously in a nonpossessive, honest, responsible and ethical way. It emphasizes consciously choosing how many people you want to be involved with instead of accepting the social norms that dictate loving only one person at a time; in this conceptualization of new family models, nuclei are woven which by their nature face multiple problems as a result of non-acceptance by society. Other problems are associated with intra-family violence that occurs within the framework of these nuclei, which makes it complex to determine a legal position, since in Colombia this issue is new, although at the international level it dates from the nineteenth century; hence it is necessary to understand the concept, forms of violence and gender in order to have greater clarity about this family model.
