Socorro: uma mulher, um pedido! Concepções acerca da naturalização da violência doméstica contra mulheres.

Abstract

This study is based on analyzing the trajectory and also the naturalization of domestic violence against women, highlighting its historical evolution and its relationship with social, cultural and economic transformations. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of the Maria da Penha Law, sanctioned in 2006, as a landmark significant in the development of violence prevention strategies. However, it is argued that the objectives of this law can only be fully achieved through a strategy that goes to the root of the problem, that is, through transformation of class society, which is based on different forms of oppression to maintain its hegemonic power. The objective is to understand the naturalization of violence suffered by women with particularities in the space domestic, analyze its forms of expression and impacts on society, as well as identify the forms of naturalization of this type of violence This study adopts a qualitative research methodology, based on an extensive review bibliographical. The analysis included scientific articles, books and dissertations previously published on the topic within Marxist feminist literature. In this wake, for expository purposes, it is highlighted that this was divided into two moments, namely: in the Firstly, the perpetuation of violence in the context of patriarchy, considering it a fundamental structure in the oppression of women. At this point, we point out how domestic violence constitutes one of the expressions of the social issue in Brazil, related to the current mode of production economy that founds our economic-social formation, where the overlap or “in” between class, gender and race has always been an essential mechanism used by the Brazilian capitalist-patriarchal mode of production to maintain domination and power of the bourgeois class. In the second chapter, the naturalization of violence, highlighting the submission imposed on women and the veiled violence present in the media, the political scene, music and social jargon. Through of this theoretical-methodological framework, we aim not only to deepen the knowledge on the topic, but also promote practices and policies that favor the construction of a society where there is no form of violence and oppression, where all women can be truly free.
