O perfil das mulheres atendidas no CRAM Jany Alves Lima Ribeiro, em Salgado/SE : aproximações aos estudos sobre violência contra as mulheres

Abstract

This research aimed to understand the profile of women served at the Women's Assistance Reference Center (CRAM) – Jany Alves Lima Ribeiro, in the municipality of Salgado/SE. The study is based on the understanding that violence against women is a consequence of historical inequalities linked to the patriarchal-racist-capitalist system. It also presents public policies directed towards women, from the 1988 Federal Constitution to the present day, highlighting the main historical aspects and emphasizing the importance of CRAM in providing assistance and guidance to women in situations of violence. Bibliographic and field research were used to develop this study. Bibliographic research was conducted through a survey of reference bibliographies on violence against women and public policies, considering essential concepts and categories for addressing the topic. Field research allowed for a close understanding of the institution's operational dynamics and structure through observation and document analysis. This was done through data collection from service forms with the aim of identifying the profile of the users and the main expressions of violence suffered by them. The results reveal relevant aspects about who these women are, as well as highlighting the important role of CRAM in assisting women victims of violence residing in the municipality of Salgado/SE, even though there are limitations in the network of services to combat violence against women.
