O perfil socioeconômico dos atores da violência doméstica na cidade de Palmas-TO

Abstract

Domestic violence against women is a reality debated worldwide, both in the public and academic spheres, given the historicity of the phenomenon, which reaches so many women without distinction, disregarding their origin, class, education, profession, ethnicity, among other socioeconomic attributes. Despite the multiplicity of factors that cause the phenomenon, the macho culture, reproduced throughout history, and with different formats and intensities, which needs to be recognized as the foundation of oppression and violence against women. The social roles assigned to her socially and, naturalized by culture, confined her to the domestic space for a long time. Thus, the family, school, church, media, and other social entities, made the woman herself internalize her role and place in society. Given the time in which violence against women has been reproducing, the recognition of their rights as human rights only occurred very recently by international organizations and the respective legislation. In Brazil, it was only with the advent of the 1988 Federal Constitution that women were made equal, at least formally, to men. However, the phenomenon of violence against women, still invisible, received greater notoriety from Law 11.340/2006 – the Maria da Penha Law, whose objective is to confront evil, having been the result of feminist social movements. The objective of this work is to show if and how domestic violence manifests itself in different universes and, for that, intersectionality was used as an approach tool, since it makes it possible to discuss, based on the socioeconomic profile of the aggressors and women in violence, how and if the differences of social class and race existing among its actors influence the manifestation of violence within family relationships and, if for all, access to justice has been effective based on the provisions of the aforementioned law, which exists with the objective of curbing domestic violence against women. From this analysis, that was carried out based on the data contained in the processes of the Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women (JVDFM) in the city of Palmas-TO, and on the results obtained, one can think of policies aimed at the profiles, both of the aggressors as well as victims, in which violence is most manifested, because in the case of a historical construction, the undoing of the oppression culture and violence against women also demands time and a process of social re-education in which it is envisaged to implement the equality established in the national constitutional legislation.
