Abstract

This work was carried out through documentary research, focusing on the theme “Gender violence and social services”. The general objective of this work was to verify how social workers work in cases of violence against women in Brazil, while the specific objectives established were to verify the origin of gender violence, its relationship with the capitalist system, and its social aspects. -historical, analyze the evolution of women's rights, verify the importance of social services in cases of domestic violence against women and analyze which instruments are used by social workers in these cases. The present work allowed us to understand that violence against women has occurred since ancient times and is linked to patriarchy and is a problem of capitalism. It was also possible to notice that with the new legal mechanisms to protect women, there was a considerable increase in complaints. However, the rate of this type of violence remains high. Furthermore, the importance of social service action in meeting these demands was verified, as social work has a strong connection with the defense of human rights, based on the code of professional ethics, and acts against all forms of violence , including gender-based violence that has roots in patriarchy. It is up to the Social Worker to take a socio- educational approach with the family, socialize information in relation to the resources and legal mechanisms established, facilitate the necessary referrals and stimulate public debate regarding gender-based violence.
