Naturalização das violências de gênero no ambiente Familiar: uma análise das narrativas de mulheres acolhidas pelo Centro de Referência Maria Quitéria (CRMQ) – Feira de Santana/Bahia

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the process of construction and naturalization of gender violence experienced by women in the family environment, based on narratives of women assisted by the Centro de Referência Maria Quitéria (CRMQ), located in the city of Feira de Santana / State of Bahia. This academic work presents the historical construction of family organizations, the patriarchy and tne inheritance left in society, as well as the conceptualization of gender, violence and gender violence. We point out the performance of feminist movements and the achievements of women's spaces and rights, being Lei Maria da Penha one of the expressions of this achievement. The analysis of the interviews with women showed us that gender violence is naturalized through the inequalities established between genders, being apprehended by women within the family both during the educational process, and in actions that encourage the permanence in violent relationships, thus hindering the process of recognition of violence, due to the nature of naturalness instituted to it.
