“O perdão que ele me pediu nunca me limpou”, circuitos de violência contra as mulheres: o registro de uma cartografia

Abstract

The object of this investigation falls within the field of interdisciplinary studies on women, gender and feminism. Specifically in dealing with violence against women. Socio-political, economic and cultural practices have been determinant for the perpetuation of violence against women in various instances of social life, substantiated by a structure centered on patriarchal and colonialist patterns that accentuate inequalities and violations in black women. This study aims to present the critical route of violence in women's lives due to their gender condition, considering violence as a determinant of their illness. To this end, a cartographic study was carried out in an urban context in the city of Salvador/BA, represented by groups with an average of 130 women students of the Social Service course at a private institution,the number is variable considering the availability of participation of women at meetings. The cartographic process relied on the observation and writing of letters as a data collection instrument, in which the experiences of each woman were the bases for the analytical production of the critical route of violence in their life cycles, demonstrating that the great villain of violence against women, patriarchy is able to model itself to the new demands of man's power, adapting to the new realities imposed by the flexible cycle of social changes
