The women movements on facing violence against the woman and the maria da penha law

Maria Helena Ferraz de Oliveira and Tânia Rocha Andrade Cunha

Abstract: 

This paper is part of our reflection regarding the performance of the women's movement in Brazil, a topic that we performed in the dissertation: "Memory and Will to Tell: Vitória da Conquista Women's", from the Post-Graduation Program in Memory Language and Society, State University of the Southwest of Bahia (UESB). Our goal is to examine the women's movement action in the context of facing violence against women and the creation of the Maria da Penha Law. That way, it is a paper of theoretical and descriptive nature, based on the contributions of important authors such as Saffioti, Teles, Santos, Izumino, Cunha, among others, who focused on the theme of violence against women in Brazil.
