Implicações da violência psicológica para a denúncia da violência doméstica contra mulheres

Abstract

Violence against women, can present itself in different ways, and can be physical, psychological, sexual, moral and patrimonial, it is a violence that is based on gender and that affects women of all social classes, sexual orientations, education, races and ethnicities. , causing damage to them in different spheres of life, and can manifest itself in both public and private environments. In order to better understand the implications of psychological violence for disclosing and denouncing domestic violence against women, it was necessary in this work to first characterize psychological and domestic violence against women, describe the psychosocial aspects involved in them and present the resources and services available for its disclosure and denunciation. For this, a qualitative research of an exploratory and explanatory nature was also carried out here, in which the Brazilian series "Bom dia, Verônica" was used as a cultural artifact, available on the Netflix platform since October 2020. The clippings of the scenes collected from the episodes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the first season of this series were arranged in two tables, entitled: Psychological violence and its implications and Im(possibilities) of revelation and denunciation. As a reference for analysis, content analysis was used to enable a more open and qualitative analysis of the data presented. Through the analysis of the scenes collected from the cultural artifact, it was possible to explore, understand and articulate psychological violence and its implications for its revelation and denunciation. It is possible to conclude that the psychological violence perpetrated by the intimate partner weakens the woman, putting her in a position of submission and vulnerability, a position that is supported by power relations, constituted by a patriarchal culture that designates asymmetrical roles between men and women, both in the sphere of private as well as public. Among the various psychosocial factors, in addition to the cultural issue, there are discussions about the little support network that the character had, demonstrating that isolation and separation from family and friends are considered harmful for coping with violence and reporting it. In short, this study is considered important to broaden discussions about psychological violence and its implications for disclosing and denouncing domestic violence against women. From the reflections and discussions presented, it is possible to identify the importance of implementing new strategies, interventions and public policies that help women in identifying and coping with the violence suffered, so that they seek services and other resources available for their revelation and denunciation, preventing psychological violence from reaching more serious levels and evolving into other forms of violence that cause irreversible damage.
