A permanência de mulheres no contexto da violência doméstica e as suas vulnerabilidades.

Abstract

Given the high rates of violence against women, mainly linked to the domestic context of abusive romantic relationships, in which women are the main victims, it is understood that several factors contribute to them remaining in these relationships. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the conditions of vulnerability that contribute to women remaining in romantic relationships permeated by domestic violence. For this, an integrative review was used, with searches in the SCIELO and LILACS databases. The following Boolean descriptors and markers were used: “domestic violence” AND “dependency” and “domestic violence” AND “dependency”. Furthermore, complete, empirical or literature review articles were selected, with data originating and produced in the national territory, published in Portuguese and English and between the years 2018 and 2023, and duplicate articles in the databases used were excluded, which had no relation to the objective of the research and that access to the article was not available free of charge. The results highlighted the vulnerability of women in the face of gender inequality and the power relationship of men, historically constituted with the normalization and invisibilization of women's suffering, whether through physical, 3 psychological or moral violence, for example. It was also reinforced how social factors are determinants of the propensity for domestic and community violence against women. Finally, the studies found portray the various conditions of vulnerability that reinforce and contribute to the context of domestic violence and the difficulty of separating women from these relationships. Keywords: Women. Abusive relationship. Domestic violence. Vulnerabilities.
