O papel do empreendedorismo feminino na promoção da autonomia econômica e redução da violência doméstica

Abstract

This study aims to understand how entrepreneurial initiatives can promote women's financial autonomy and contribute to the reduction of domestic violence in the municipality of Campo Redondo/RN. The research is based on the understanding that economic dependence is one of the main factors keeping women in abusive relationships, and that entrepreneurship can serve as a tool for emancipation and self-esteem reconstruction. The adopted methodology was qualitative, involving a literature review, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews conducted with women in situations of social vulnerability and victims of domestic violence. The results indicate that, although entrepreneurship is a viable alternative, it still faces barriers such as the lack of public policies, limited access to credit, and the absence of support networks. The study reinforces the need for integrated actions that promote real opportunities for empowerment and autonomy.
