Violência contra a mulher: Análise do machismo estrutural e sua influência na sociedade

Abstract

The research aims to evaluate the historical and social context of the female condition in Brazil, highlighting the prevalence of gender-based violence; examine violence against women and its psychological impacts; identify the impacts of structural machismo in the perpetuation of gender-based violence. The study was based on concerns about violence against women, with the following question: How does structural machismo contribute to the perpetuation of violence against women in contemporary society and what are the possible strategies for its eradication? The methodology used in this work was qualitative, through a bibliographic review seeking to analyze social customs and identify mechanisms that can help eradicate the problem, through databases such as: Scielo, Google Scholar, Articles, Books, Periodicals, Monographs, Laws and Websites. It is concluded that violence occurs in the most diverse forms against women, being a clear violation of the fundamental rights of the human person, as well as an attack on their health, their psychological, personal and social well-being and that machismo is a social phenomenon that, although it is increasingly being fought in different spheres of our society, it is still present in practically all social spheres, leaving a trail of inequality that is extremely harmful to us as a society.
