Masculinidades e violência de gênero: o atendimento psicossocial a homens em cumprimento de medida protetiva de urgência presente na lei Maria da Penha

Abstract

When the woman, victim of domestic violence, is granted the protective measure, the man, in addition to having to maintain a minimum distance, is obliged to attend an education and rehabilitation center and undergo individual and/or group psychosocial monitoring. Compliance with the amendment to the Maria da Penha Law carried out on April 3, 2020, through Law No. 13,984. But where are these centers? What we have are Men's Reflective Groups enrolled by initiatives of servants with political strength for this purpose. The present work carried out semi-structured, face-to-face, online interviews through the Google meet platform with the team (coordinator, psychologist and social worker) that make up the NAMVID – Support Center for Women Victims of Domestic Violence – and run the Group reflective of Men: for an attitude of peace. Which is developed by the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Norte for more than 10 years. In order to dialogue with the analysis of the content collected in the interviews, a theoretical review of the concept of masculinities, gender violenceand psychological techniques and concepts that occurred for reflection and work with the justice system with perpetrators of domestic and family violence against women was carried out. Passing by Freud, Vigotski, Raewyn Connel, Lourdes Maria Bandeira, Tokuda, Kawamura among others. Understanding masculinity in a macro and intersectional way, considering gender, class and race in each social context are alternatives that can contribute to the fight against gender violence. The performance of the psychology professional in the actions of Men's Reflective Groups, despite not being their exclusive function, is fundamental to the process of reflection and deconstruction of violent masculinity.
