A violência contra a mulher e a universidade: as percepções dos (as) discentes da UFCG Campus Sousa.

Abstract

The present work of conclusion of the course is the result of a research carried out at the Federal University of Campina Grande / Campus Sousa, with the students of the Direct Academic Unit in order to bring analysis about the perception of violence against women. Patriarchy arises as a system of domination based on the model of the family composed of the father as the person in charge and holder of all power, the mother who is submissive and responsible for the household chores and the children who reproduce this model . Patriarchy uses 4 instruments of domination as a form of regulation and control of men over women, they are: the prohibition of women's political participation by preventing them from acting in political environments, the organization and maintenance of the sexual division of labor by placing women in positions of minor importance for society and forcing them to exercise double working hours, the expropriation of the body and the use of violence against women which is shown as the most cruel form of domination. This can happen within a cycle that begins with the construction of tension in the relationship, the explosion of violence and the honeymoon - repentance of the aggressor. The work also third analyzes on the perception of UAD students about violence against women, understanding that they are enforcers and enablers of rights and the importance of the discussion on gender inequality in the university. It was a qualitative research that used as a data instrument a questionnaire as 36 final students, being 19 of the Law course and 17 of the Social Work course. Data analysis was based on the categorization of these data. Through this we can see that students of Law and Social Work courses have different perceptions about violence against women and gender inequality. Part of this difference comes from the little discussion within the university that prevents students from discussing gender violence and inequality in society, university, and the course.
