Os entrelaços de gênero e raça: mulheres negras e a resistência contra a violência doméstica

Abstract

The coursework entitled "The intertwining of gender and race: black women and resistance against domestic violence" aimed to discuss and reflect on domestic violence against black women in Brazilian society, understanding the issues of both gender and race. The main categories concerning domestic violence were presented during the work, where the debate went from the slavery period in Brazil to the public policies to fight domestic violence. The discussion of this work was based on racial, gender and patriarchal relations in order to understand the historical and contemporary processes of violence against black women, understanding especially the dynamics that presuppose a place of inferiority for women and that gives legitimacy to the different forms of violence. In this way, we reflected about the various expressions of domestic violence against black women considering the racial and patriarchal relations. Thus, in the methodological procedures were used the literature review on the subject and survey data made available by DEAM (Police Station Specialized in Assistance Women) of Miracema do Tocantins and the National Register of Violence against Women in order to identify the profile of black women in situations of domestic violence, being found the insufficiency of the systematization of data to know the reality of these women and enable the strengthening of social policies and the debate about this issue. Therefore, we understand that the absence of these data about black women in situations of domestic violence reverberates to a culture of naturalization of forms of violence.
