Abrigamento de mulheres em situação de violência doméstica em Macapá/AP

Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze the public policy of sheltering women in of domestic and conjugal violence in Macapá/AP. The qualitative research was developed through bibliographic, documentary and field research. This last one was structured based on observations at the Crimes Against Women Police Station – DCCM and in semi-structured interviews with ex-shelters, employees and ex-employees of Casaabrigo Fátima Diniz, with the head delegate of the DCCM and with the secretary of public policies for women. The interviews were carried out between 2014 and early 2015. The This work seeks to highlight the contradictions involving the reception of women and the guarantee of their fundamental rights. When analyzing the norms and prohibitions, routine, schedule of activities, appearance of the place, the constant surveillance, the secrecy that involves the shelter and the care and services provided by it, it was found that the shelter triggers most of the time a feeling of isolation in users, since that, it tends to curtail the autonomy and freedom of women and children, showing itself in this incapable of guaranteeing the protection of sheltered women without violating their rights.
