Casi una década después de haber sido estranguladas, muchas mujeres siguen cargando en su sistema nervioso las huellas de una violencia que no deja marcas visibles. Un estudio de Mass General Brigham, publicado en el Journal of Neurotrauma, documenta lo que las sobrevivientes han sabido siempre: el estrangulamiento en la violencia de pareja causa daño cerebral duradero. La ciencia pone ahora nombre y cifras a un sufrimiento que los sistemas de salud y justicia han ignorado durante demasiado tiempo.

Workplace productivity and human capital
Victims face long-term healthcare expenses for neurological treatment, vision correction, and mental health services. Reduced workforce participation due to persistent symptoms (concentration difficulties, vision problems) decreases household income and economic productivity. Increased demand for specialized trauma care and rehabilitation services.
Governments may need to increase funding for victim support services, mental health infrastructure, and specialized neurological care. Healthcare systems should develop protocols for screening and treating strangulation-related brain injuries. Criminal justice systems may strengthen penalties for intimate partner violence. Workplace accommodations and disability support programs may require expansion to address long-term effects on employment.
