Diferencias del TRAUMA entre HOMBRES y MUJERES | Dafna Viniegra en Cracks Podcast
In this episode of the Cracks Podcast, host Dafna Viniegra and several participants discuss how trauma from abuse manifests differently for men and women. They note that abuse against women is more socially normalized, while male survivors face a heavy stigma that silences them. Over three years, the organization behind the podcast has held talks and conferences, initially attracting only six male survivors. After a catalyst named Iker began sharing his story, a dedicated men’s support community was launched, growing to 50 members within two weeks across Mexico and Latin America. The conversation describes the emotional breakthroughs men experience in these sessions—sharing memories, sensory triggers, and personal narratives without filters. The hosts also outline the operational side of the support groups: scheduled meetings for women (Wednesday mornings and Thursday evenings), free participation, safety protocols, liability waivers, and a structured enrollment process via the Hilas MX website and WhatsApp, including identity verification and responsibility disclaims. Finally, they discuss future plans to expand the communities, create additional chapters, and maintain professional guidance.
