Violência contra a mulher brasileira: identificando as implicações da violência psicológica na vida das mulheres

Abstract

The present work seeks to bring an analysis about psychological violence against women in Brazil and bring us to an understanding of the reality of Brazilian patriarchal and sexist society. Thus, we established as a general objective, to analyze psychological violence against women in Brazil, in order to contribute to the visibility and confrontation of this form of violence. As specific objectives we set out to: investigate the relationship between patriarchy and violence against women; explain what psychological violence consists of as a form of violence against women; identify the implications of psychological violence on women's lives. As a methodology, we use the qualitative approach, seeking to gather data / information, through bibliographic and documentary research, in order to understand the complexity of this type of violence. Thus, the research results point to the need for more attention and public policies, developed by the State, to break with this violation of women's human rights. This research allowed us to observe that psychological violence, perpetrated by aggressors, finds support in the non-compliance with public policies and their scarcity. Where we understand that, a society shaped by the patriarchal and sexist system is the main violator and propagator of inequalities between the sexes.
