Violência infligida por parceria íntima no contexto da mulher quilombola

Abstract

The practices of violence perpetrated by intimate partnerships assume a particular connotation of severity and intensity for each woman to occur in the context of intimate affective relationships. For the black and Quilombola woman, violence is intensified and marked not only by the social inequality of being a woman, a black woman, a peasant woman and a poor woman, but also by the abandonment of the State to their basic needs to meet human dignity. Therefore, this work seeks to describe the understanding of the concept and recognition of violence against women, inflicted by intimate partnership, imprinted in the family and social contexts of the women from a Quilombola community in the Recôncavo Baiano. This was an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative approach that occurred in the Kalembá’s Quilombola community with 12 women participants, aged 10 years and older, who agreed to participate voluntarily in the study. For the data collection, a semi-structured interview and the simple observation was used by the technique of content analysis by Bardin. This work was approved by a Committee of Research Ethics and complies with all the ethical precepts recommended. This study presents the analysis of the content of the results grouped and discussed in the following categories: Characterization of omen; Power relations; Living with violence; Vulnerabilities, and; Coping mechanisms. The public studied represents a sample of 35% of the community; It was possible to verify that 100% are black (67%) and brown (33%); 58% received less than one salary; 67% of women have incomplete elementary education and 37% are illiterate; the labor activities that occurred most were shellfish, agriculture, and olive oil production. With regard to violence against women, it was possible to establish a direct relationship between violence and discrepancies in gender relations within intimate relationships. An association of the meaning of violence against women is noted, physical violence is predominant in order to others kinds. It was found that the various social apparatuses legally instituted do not reach these women, thus drawing a scenario of abandonment of the State towards these women. This work served its purpose in understanding the concept and recognition of violence against women, inflicted by an intimate partnership in the family and social contexts of Quilombola women. In this perspective, this work hopes to contribute to the implementation of existing public policies by becoming one more element of analysis and source of information in the face of the scarcity of literature on this subject. Gender violence, aimed at the Quilombola population, constitutes a serious and complex public health problem. The nurse as a health professional should be aware of the real needs of the victims. Finally, the opportunity to work on the subject within a population so unique, that is, the Quilombola, allowed the reach to a differentiated formation of valorization of the other, to understand and to perceive in practice the relations of inequality perpetrated by the racism, social inequalities and of gender.
