Abstract

From 2019 a serious world crisis was faced due to the spread and infection by the new Coronavirus. Specifically in the year 2020, where the biggest problems linked to the virus began, it is possible to analyze the numerous difficulties experienced by different categories in society, including women. With the isolation measures to contain the contagion of the virus, the so-called lockdown intensified countless conflicts due to the intense confinement and also the uncertainties of the entire context. Thus, it was possible to perceive a significant increase in the rates of domestic violence and cases of harassment. Taking this context as a starting point, this work aimed to understand the perceptions and learn about the experiences of violence, health and living conditions of women assisted by the CRAS (Reference Center for Social Assistance) in the city of Curimataú paraibano considering the post-pandemic period. The study was developed through an exploratory research with a qualitative approach. Therefore, the research was carried out with six women assisted by CRAS and beneficiaries of the Social Rent using a semi-structured questionnaire, composed of sociodemographic data and subjective questions related to violence, social conditions and women's health in the post-pandemic context.

The research was carried out only after approval by the Research Ethics Committee and for data analysis Bardin's (1977) Content Analysis technique was used. Therefore, it was possible to understand that these women's perceptions about the experiences of violence, health and living conditions are varied, but all point to multiple experiences of violence against women.
