Domestic violence against women has memory

This paper is part of a qualitative research and has as goal to discuss how the male power, revealed through machismo, a memory of patriarchy has succeeded in perpetuating itself between the generations in our daily lives. For this purpose, we have substantiated ourselves on authors’ readings who have given important contributions about the thematic of domestic violence against women, and about memory and human rights, as well as the six interviewed women reports that happened between 1990 and 2010 they suffered marital domestic violence in a city of thestate of Bahia - Brazil - when they were still married. Our assessment has allowed us to imply that patriarchal values are still alive in our society becausethe majority of people still uncritically reproduce the speechesthat come from this order, even though we live in a wide social context of technological development and progress and women's conquests. It means that juridical equality and the women human dignity recognition are entirelyattachedto the laws, but does they do not resonate at the same ration in real life. To balance these differences, we consider important and urgent the Women's Human Rights recognition, so that we can have a fairest and equal society, not just in law.
