Lugar de mulher: casa de acolhimento para mulheres em situação de violência doméstica em Maceió-AL

Abstract

This work is a project for a Shelter House, as provided for in the National Guidelines for Sheltering Women at Risk and Violence Situations (Brazil, 2011), targeting women in situations of domestic violence. Located in the Barro Duro neighborhood in Maceió-AL, the unit offers psychosocial support, as well as support that helps women become independent, through technical training workshops and assistance in caring for their dependent minors, in order to enable women to disengage economically and/or emotionally from their aggressors, enabling them to report and remove them. To this end, related projects were studied in order to verify their strengths and weaknesses, combined with knowledge of national guidelines and laws, social indicators and international agencies, in order to formulate a proposal that is consistent with the Brazilian scenario, respecting the reality of women from Alagoas.
