A VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA E A INFLUÊNCIA DE FATORES SÓCIO-HISTÓRICOS, ECONÔMICOS, POLÍTICOS E CULTURAIS: a experiência das famílias atendidas no Hospital das Clínicas/UFG/Goiânia 2005 a 2010.

Abstract

This study aims to understand domestic violence and the influence of socio-historical, economic, political and cultural changes in the occurrence of domestic violence within the families that were attended at the Hospital das Clínicas of Federal University of Goiás in the period 2005 to 2010. To understand these factors we tried to analyze the historical configuration of structural violence in capitalist society and the construction of citizenship rights in family relations, as well as the establishment of social rights and social policies as a necessary relationship between state and family. We sought to examine also the history of violence against children and adolescents in Brazilian society, and the particularity of domestic violence against children and adolescents. In this process we performed a historical review of legal frameworks and policies for treatment of this segment. Based on these studies you can say that children and adolescents are victims of different types of violence (from the structural to the home) because they do not have public policies that ensure comprehensive social protection. Prevention, protection and care of children and adolescents in situations of domestic violence require intersectoral policies involving health, education, welfare, housing, sanitation, recreation and others. However, empirical research has demonstrated the precarious living conditions of families and the difficulty in obtaining assistance in various policies mentioned. It has also shown that the unmet basic needs for these policies can contribute to the occurrence of violence or to its perpetuation. Thus, it can be said that a quality service and universalized public policy can mean the protection of children and adolescents not only of structural violence as well as domestic violence.
