Enfrentamento à violência contra as mulheres em São Borja: Um panorama das ações da Coordenadoria de Políticas Públicas para as Mulheres

Abstract

This dissertation presents an overview of the actions of the Coordination of Policies for Women of São Borja (CPM-SB) regarding the confrontation of violence against women, proposed by national public policy. We also seek to deepen the gaze on violence against women over where it occurs: the woman's body. In its methodological dimension, this research is essentially exploratory, and has the following questions: how has the CPM-SB been involved in the fight against violence against women in São Borja? What actions does it take to comply with national policies? In order to answer these questions, we aim to: (i) present a bibliographic review that portrays violence against women; (ii) to temporarily contextualize advances in legislation related to women's rights, especially those aimed at combating violence in Brazil; (iii) to map violence against women through a survey of statistical data from Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul and São Borja; and (iv) conduct a survey of the actions of CPM-SB.
