A violência contra a mulher em Delmiro Gouveia - AL: uma questão de (in) justiça social

Abstract

This work is the result of a research on violence against women in the city of Delmiro Gouveia, state of Alagoas. Its objective is to discuss violence against women as a historical process and, also, as a reality that remains rooted in our society in plain 21st century, which clearly opposes the concept of democracy, simultaneously violating the rights of women. In addition to the bibliographic research, which provided the theoretical framework for the research, we used the qualitative methodology, with interviews as a resource for obtaining data. It was found that the women of the above-mentioned city heard in our research corroborated in their statements what the authors we read had written. Finally, it was understood that domestic violence and other types of violence mentioned in this work only changed their guise, continuing to occur even though punitive measures already exist for those who commit the aggression.
