Resumen

La investigación sobre violencia de género contra jóvenes refugiados subraya la relevancia de los análisis situacionales o desde la psicología social a nivel micro. Algo que escapa en este tipo de investigaciones la incorporación de enfoques estructurales, especialmente aquellos basados en el feminismo crítico y en teorías críticas de raza. En este artículo sugerimos la incorporación de conceptos útiles para el análisis del tema, incluyendo el concepto de integración y el de dislocación, como conceptos claves para los estudios sobre refugiados, violencia de género y juventud. Estos conceptos median la interrelación entre los análisis micro y macro. Sugerimos recomendaciones de tipo sistémico y a largo plazo, basadas en aproximaciones holísticas y críticas que aluden a sistemas de dominación (misoginia, racismo, discriminación, homofobia) dentro de la económica política, cultura e instituciones donde éstos se insertan.
