Pós-abrigamento de mulheres em situação de violência: uma compreensão fenomenológica

Abstract

The post-sheltering moment, in the city of Natal, begins when women leave Casa-Abrigo Clara Camarão. This place is responsible for hosting, for a limited time and in a confidential way, women in violence situations and imminent death risk. Actually, most of aggressors are people close to them, who practice violence inside their own homes. Post-sheltering is related to women returning to their origin contexts. Assuming this background, this research sought to understand, from a Heideggerian existential phenomenology, the experience of women who suffered domestic violence and find themselves in a post-sheltering situation in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Two narrative-interviews were conducted on women in the post-sheltering period. Both were transcribed and interpreted from a Heideggerian phenomenological approach. Heideger understands man and world as correlated subjects, for him we are always in relation with others, since we are ontologically being-with, therefore when looking at the construction of women’s ideal of this research participants we approach a context that requires an adaptation to an idealized model of a wife that is always behave compliantly even in a violent relationship. This control practiced by other, under women’s life appears within the abusive relationships but also within the assistance received by women during sheltering period and continues in the post-sheltering. The support received by these women is pursuant with what Heidegger calls the Age of Technique, in which man relates to his environment and others as a reservoir of resources to be exploited. When faced with assistance that still fails to provide them security and suffering pressure native from the environment to match the ideal established for women, this research participants reported a continued homeless feeling after post-sheltering period.
