Gender-based violence is a widespread phenomenon and pandemic that affects women's lives. Many interventions have been activated for perpetrators, but the dropout rate is still high. In order to draw up guidelines for responsibly and sustainably dealing with the phenomenon, this study is aimed at investigating the professionals' perception of the perpetrator as a useful element in designing innovative intervention policies. Open interviews were carried out with welfare and health professionals and the Grounded Theory Methodology was used to analyze the collected data. These results detect attitudes of social health personnel and their feelings of impotence towards gender-based perpetrators because of the emergence of an inevitable repetitiveness of the violent behavior, as well as the "normality of violence" in a patriarchal culture and its "transversality". This reflective knowledge allows for the opportunity to develop best transformative attitudes toward the phenomenon. According to the results, it is urgent to establish an active and convinced alliance with the healthy part of the man, through specific prevention paths, in order to activate an authentic motivation for change and its sustainability.
性别暴力是一种普遍存在的现象和大流行病，影响着妇女的生活。已经为施害者激活了许多干预措施，但辍学率仍然很高。为了制定负责任和可持续地处理这一现象的准则，本研究旨在调查专业人员对施害者的看法，将其视为设计创新干预政策的有用因素。对福利和卫生专业人员进行了开放式访谈，并使用扎根理论方法对收集到的数据进行了分析。这些结果揭示了社会卫生人员的态度及其对性别暴力施害者的无力感，因为暴力行为不可避免地出现了重复性，以及父权文化中的“暴力常态”及其“普遍性”。这种反思性知识为发展对这一现象的最佳变革态度提供了机会。根据研究结果，迫切需要通过具体的预防途径与男性健康的一部分建立积极和坚定的联盟，以激发真正的变革动机及其可持续性。
