Maps of visibility of insecurity in the city. Educational strategy for students of Social Education Grade

Abstract

The city is a community space that should be legitimate for everyone. However, the sensation of insecurity, the physical and/or verbal aggressions that women may suffer in the city causes them not to live in the public space in the same way as men. Urban policies and social studies tend to take into account this invisible reality through multiple actions that repress and evidence what happens in the city, but it is through education, and above all non-formal education, that we will succeed in making the population aware of what really happens in the cities. This article presents the results of a research on a teaching process carried out with students from the Faculty of Education Sciences, during which the students reflected on the role of women in the city through maps to express and make visible the different sensations produced by the urban environment.
