Resumen

In recent years, greater importance has been given to the independence, protection, and role of women in society, mainly in how the same woman can guarantee her own protection. Therefore, this article aims to identify research trends in behavior and self-defense in women, based on a bibliometric analysis. Among the main results, it was found that, although there is no increasing or decreasing trend regarding publications on the subject, the discussion has started several years ago and has been found to be marked mainly by psychological aspects caused by intrafamily violence. The main conclusion highlights the fact that the leading researchers on the subject are women. It also highlights that research has recently been carried out regarding the self-defense of women, not only from physical defense techniques but also from the defense of virtual harassment.
