RELIGIÃO E VIOLÊNCIA DE GÊNERO: ANÁLISE DA INTERVENÇÃO DA IGREJA NOS CASOS DE VIOLAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS DAS MULHERES E DA VIOLÊNCIA DE GÊNERO

Abstract

This work deals with religion and gender violence, analyzed from the perspective of the church's intervention in cases of violation of women's rights and gender violence. Domestic violence against women is a worldwide phenomenon, not restricted to certain races, economic classes, age or religion. Aggressions are divided into: psychological, physical and sexual, however, in abusive relationships, they tend to happen in an overlapping manner. The creation of public policies aimed at women clashes with situations that involve gender and that are produced and reproduced in society, meanings that keep subtle violence, imperceptible in a context of institutionalized and subjectified domination. In the Brazilian scenario, religion, particularly Christianity, as an institution that produces meaning, is a fertile field for discussing gender violence. The general objective of this work was to analyze the violence that affects an increasing number of women and other members of the family group worldwide, arising from the inequality present in power relations between men and women, together with the existing gender discrimination. both in society and in the family. The developed research has an exploratory character, with the intuition to explain the material related to the theme from the junction of researched data and observation of the authors' dialogue. The capture of the material to be used in the work took place through research in books, theses, magazines, monographs, periodicals, public data, newspapers, jurisprudence, sentences, and laws. The referred bibliographic research was based on an exploratory analysis of the theme based on topics and concepts provided by means already known for solving problems.
