Résumé:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of the Social Work
professional and the weaknesses and progress in the physical structure and
personnel structure of the Regional Hospital of Sousa / PB in the face of the
problem of violence against the woman. In order to do so, it was sought to
understand the historical process of coping with violence against women from its
earliest days, with emphasis on the actions carried out by the feminist movement
and the struggles it pursued in order to achieve public policies for this segment.
Among these, the creation of Specialized Police Offices for Women's Assistance
(DEAM's) and Law 11,340 / 06, better known as the "Maria da Penha Law". It
was noticed that despite great achievements raised by the feminist movement,
the confrontation of violence against women is crossed by many challenges
arising from the current sociability, rooted in the macho culture. In order to
accomplish this work, the dialectical critical referential was used in order to
analyze the perspective of totality, in order to overcome the apparent and to
unravel the contradictions present in the social processes. The research
presented in this work is qualitative, of a documentary nature, bibliographical in
books, scientific articles, blogs and websites with news about the investigated
problem; and the field using the technique of data collection through semistructured
questionnaires applied to the social workers of the Hospital Regional
de Sousa / PB. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that the hospital,
even though it is one of the main doors of access to women victims of violence,
still performs poor service due to the lack of capacities of the professionals and
the absence of public policies that are linked to this service.
