Abstract

The present research work arises around a critical and reflective perspective, from the professional experience as justice assistants, whose particularity is transcribed in a recent restructuring of the Psychosocial Cabinet of the Judicial Power, with the purpose of providing it with a functional and administrative organization. that allows it to act with greater speed and efficiency, contributing to the provision of an effective and quality Justice service (agreed No. 869/18).

Thus emerges our professional practice, which intervenes and evaluates, in lawsuits arising from a Family and Inheritance Civil Court, based in the City of Banda del Rio Salí, Dto. High Cross.

That is to say, our practice is located in a geo, historical and social context of vulnerability, which registers second place in the index of situations of domestic violence, marginal housing sectors and high poverty indicators.

The objective of this paper is to describe the professional role built and assumed in the preparation of social reports in situations of domestic violence and child abuse, from a situational perspective, with a focus on rights and gender perspective, revealing the reality suffered by women, childhood and adolescence victims of violence and abuse.

The complexity of current social problems promotes the need for interdisciplinary approaches and interventions that enable, through interpretations and/or holistic analyses, diagnostic approaches and the construction of knowledge that promote new superior approaches, allowing the full enjoyment and guarantee of citizenship rights.

A qualitative methodology is used with a descriptive study level, non-experimental transactional participatory approach. The unit of analysis is limited to the expert practices regarding the interventions in precautionary measures for the protection of the person, all with a type of non-probabilistic sampling for convenience, during the first semester of the current year.

In conclusion, an installed and legitimized struggle is observed, of the worker's competence, as a promoter of change towards a comprehensive view of people with rights affected, including them in the judicial process through their word and in accordance with international standards in the matter.
