Violência política de gênero: repercussões psicossociais

Abstract

Gender violence is a global phenomenon that violates human dignity and is considered a public health issue that can lead to fatal outcomes. It is not a phenomenon that manifests itself in a unique way, even with the predominance of inequality of power between genders, each situation contains unique characteristics of the specific context in which it manifests itself, as in the case of political gender violence , which is characterized by turning to the woman's body or relating to gender stereotypes, as possible questions to traditional social roles, and/or various other means that aim to deny women's competence in the political sphere. Thus, the present work aims to identify psychosocial consequences of gender-based political violence in Brazil, through the understanding of the dynamics of gender-based violence in its different contexts of manifestation, in addition to seeking to understand the history of women in Brazilian politics, while also knowing the relevant concepts for understanding the topic addressed. The production of this work seeks to generate useful knowledge for a better understanding of the phenomenon studied, seeking a dynamic interpretation of the presented reality, considering the historical, political and social influences of the themes involved in gender violence in the context of Brazilian politics. The study aims to be exploratory and descriptive, characterized by being a bibliographical research.As any other type of violence, political gender violence has its repercussions and consequences, which can be both in the psychological sphere, bringing damage to mental health and well-being of victims of this violence, as well as in the social sphere, bringing obstacles to the full development of a diverse and representative policy, therefore causing psychosocial damage that makes democracy itself one of the victims.
