Abstract(s)
O tema a que se refere este estudo foi escolhido dada a atualidade e a pertinência da
temática da violência doméstica na nossa sociedade, sendo reconhecida e assumida
como um crime público e uma forma grave de violação dos direitos humanos. Este
estudo tem como objetivo analisar, identificar e compreender as representações
sociais de um grupo de mulheres migrantes brasileiras vítimas de violência doméstica.
Do ponto de vista metodológico o estudo é qualitativo recorrendo aos testemunhos
pessoais através de uma amostra de 10 participantes no qual foi aplicada a técnica de
recolha de dados, a entrevista. Os conteúdos das entrevistas foram analisados através
dos softwares Textstat 2.9 e do Freemind 1.1. Os resultados demonstraram que o tipo
de violência doméstica preponderante é a violência física e as causas da violência
doméstica foram, essencialmente, o álcool e as drogas. O agressor foi representado
pelas mulheres através de objetivações negativas e afetivas, sendo que a maioria das
mulheres acreditam na mudança do comportamento violento do agressor. No que
tange às representações acerca do futuro, observaram-se representações ancoradas
na resiliência e na falta de perspetivas de futuro. Os resultados são indicadores que as
representações sociais que as mulheres brasileiras têm dos brasileiros são positivas e
dos portugueses negativas, sendo o suporte social sustentado na família, nos amigos e
nas instituições de apoio à vítima. Os resultados demonstram que as mulheres
possuem a representação de que os portugueses e os brasileiros são ambos violentos,
e constatou-se que as representações sociais que as mulheres possuem em relação à
tolerância são objetivações positivas. Verificou-se também que a violência contra a
mulher reflete um fenómeno complexo e multifacetado.
The theme for this study was chosen given the presence and pertinence of domestic violence in our society, which is recognised as a serious public crime and a violation of human rights. This study aims to analyse, identify and understand social representations within a group of Brazilian emigrant women, victims of domestic violence. From a methodological point of view, this is a qualitative study which retrieved personal witnesses from a sample of 10 participants, collecting data by means of interviews. The contents of the interview were analysed using the softwares Textstat 2.9 and Freemind 1.1. The results showed that main type of domestic violence is physical violence and the causes for domestic violence were mainly due to alcohol and drug abuse. These women identified the aggressor through negative and affective objectifications and most of them believed that the behaviour of the aggressor would change. With regards to representations about the future, these seem to be anchored on resilience and lack of perspective for the future. Results show that the social representations the Brazilian women have of Brazilians are positive, whereas those of the Portuguese are negative and they place their social support on their family, friends and family support institutions. The results also reveal that the women possess a representation that both Portuguese and Brazilians are violent, but that the social representations the women have concerning tolerance are positive ones. It was also found that violence against women reflects a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.
