Item Impacto del machismo interiorizado en hombres entre 15 y 24 años(2025) Cáceres Ocoró, Emmanuel; Arrechea Caicedo, Kevin Johan; Espitia Laguna, María José; Alzate Velásquez, Natalia (Asesora)This study analyzes how internalized machismo affects young men between the ages of 15 and 24 in vulnerable contexts such as the communities of Cali. They face realities marked by poverty, violence, and social exclusion. Masculinity is constructed under traditional mandates that promote control, harshness, and emotional repression. This generates significant impacts on young people's emotional health and social relationships. A qualitative documentary review was conducted of 30 academic studies—10 local, 10 national, and 10 international—taken from databases such as Scielo, Redalyc, and Google Scholar. Keywords related to internalized machismo, masculinities, gender violence, and social representations were used. The documents were analyzed using a state-of-the-art matrix. The findings reveal that young men reproduce macho models due to social pressure, a lack of alternative role models, and as a protection mechanism in a host environment. However, experiences of change were also identified. Some young people are beginning to question these models through community, educational, and artistic spaces. It is concluded that transforming masculinities requires a collective intervention through social work with institutional, community, and pedagogical support. Reflecting on internalized machismo at this sensitive stage of a young person's life is necessary to build more equitable relationships, prevent gender-based aggression, and foster a more empathetic and emotionally diverse society.
