A epidemia na pandemia: análise ecológica de processos de violência doméstica contra as mulheres no município de Goiânia

Abstract

Domestic violence against women is a global, social, and public health problem, which consists of a multi-determined and highly complex phenomenon, which, according to national and international data, has worsened with the Covid-19 pandemic. This thesis aims to understand the individual, community and social aspects of domestic violence against women in the processes received by the JVDFM/TJ of the municipality of Goiânia, before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. 192 processes were analyzed, two years before and during the pandemic outbreak, with the support of the Iramuteq textual analysis software. The results indicated a small reduction in the age of those involved in the pandemic period. The strong relationship between alcohol use and violence was confirmed throughout the sample, and victims suffered various types of violence at home. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the epidemic of domestic violence against women was worsened mainly by people who maintained a stable relationship. It was observed that sexism, stereotyped perceptions of gender, together with the context of the pandemic (grief, isolation, fear, stress), in addition to the financial crisis, the abuse of alcohol, and the financial crisis, were factors in the increase in alcohol abuse. Individual, social, and contextual factors intertwine in the understanding and prevention of domestic violence against women and imply collective efforts to face it
