Resumo:
This work was elaborated with the objetive of analyzing the legal internship field of
GEDEM-MP/BA, with Maria da Penha law as object of professional intervention.
Considering the discussion on domestic violence, this work brings theater as a tool to
rethink the operative tools of the instrumentality of social service. A field research
was conducted with women associated with GEDEM and one of the conclusions we
came to with the study concerns the practice of the social worker. It is possible,
evidence shows, to obtain substantial results with helping women in violent situation
following the professional ethic code and, proves the importance of the theater as an
instrumental way to be used by social service in the approach of women in violence
situation.
