Violence against Women in the State of the Espírito Santo

The phenomenological analysis of everyday life, or rather subjective experience, abstains from any casual or genetic hypothesis, as well as from statements concerning the ontological status of the phenomena to be analyzed. It is important to remember this point, since common sense contains innumerable prescientific interpretations of the everyday social reality that it accepts as certain. Several studies point out that the issue of violence against women gained visibility from the public debate provoked by feminists about the murders of women from the 1970s onwards, since these crimes were hitherto treated as domestic issues and considered natural, justified by the defense of the honor of men. This discussion raised questions about the violence and discrimination that women had lived for centuries in public and private spaces. Violence against women is very broad and can be physical, sexual, psychological, moral, patrimonial, among others, and often, not as excluding women suffer various forms at the same time and can often have as an outcome to their lives, what is typified as femicide.
