The ceremony for the 18th Peace Research Award of the University of Barcelona, promoted by the UB Solidarity Foundation and the Institute for Professional Development (IDP) of the UB, took place today. The jury, made up entirely of UB teaching staff, awarded the prize to the work La violencia filioparental: adolescentes agresivos, familias perdidas, by Jana Zarco, a student at the Escola Pia Balmes in Barcelona. The event was presided over by the rector of the UB, Joan Guàrdia, accompanied by the vice-rector for Equality and Gender, Montserrat Puig, and the deputy director of the IDP, Isabel Paula.

Zarco's research describes the types of parental abuse (mainly by adolescents), the factors that trigger it and the cycle of this violence. It also analyses the knowledge that adolescents themselves have of this problem and studies the consequences that are generated when violent behaviour comes to be judged at a criminal level. It also provides an awareness-raising video to make the phenomenon visible and promote social awareness. Both the awardee and her school each received a prize of 500 euros.
