Abstract: (8004 Views) |
| Background: Domestic violence against women refers to all acts of gender-based violence
perpetrated against women, including physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring
within the family. The high rates of domestic violence and disproportionately high rates of
maternal mortality in developing countries are recognized as global public health problems.
Methods: This study is based on data extracted from the SciELO database and secondary data
extracted from the WHO website about domestic violence, health services and health narratives.
Results and discussion: Violence also occurs among the wealthier population, who can hide
domestic violence. When considered assaults committed within the residence, 63% of victims
were women. Studies have found higher prevalence among poorest women, who consult health
services three times more than the others and that the number of queries. Conclusion: Violence
against women deserves to be approached as a health problem, in addition to violation of human
rights and citizenship. The narrative construction can be an instrument to make possible the
emergence of a new authorship and the possibility of choice. |
