Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Os movimentos em defesa das mulheres sobreviventes de violência doméstica
emergiram na década de 70. A partir daí foram-se desenvolvendo casas-abrigo de forma a
disponibilizar um local seguro e que prestasse apoio a estas mulheres. Apesar dos estudos na
área da violência doméstica serem variados, poucos se dedicam ao impacto real destas
instituições na vida das sobreviventes após terem saído de uma casa-abrigo. Assim, de forma
a dar visibilidade à nova etapa das sobreviventes, este estudo tem como objectivo
compreender o impacto das casas-abrigo na vida de quatro mulheres sobreviventes de
violência doméstica, após a saída das casas. Para o estudo foi utilizado um método qualitativo
designado como método das narrativas autobiográficas, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas.
Pretende-se com este método, dar a conhecer as experiências destas mulheres, no
pós-casa-abrigo, dando especial atenção ao que têm para nos dizer e dar a conhecer. Como
resultados, constata-se que a estadia na casa-abrigo teve um sincero significado na vida destas
mulheres, pois proporcionou-lhes segurança, crescimento pessoal, novas realidades e
amizades. As mulheres no recomeço de uma nova vida sentem várias dificuldades, bem como
necessidades que desejam ver resolvidas. Sendo uma habitação de renda baixa e mais apoio
psicológico as grandes necessidades destas mulheres.
ABSTRACT: The women’s rights movements against victims of domestic violence emerged in the 70’s. This provoked an increase in shelters designed to provide a safe and supportive alternative. Although studies in domestic violence are varied, little acknowledgment is given to the impact these institutions have on leaving survivors. This study aims to shed new light on the new chapter of life of four survivors’ experience after leaving the shelter. The study was structured around a qualitative method such as autobiographical narratives through semi structured interviews. This was aimed to give more insight into the lives and specific experiences of these women. As results show, time spent in the shelter had a big impact on these women’s lives, giving them security, personal growth, new ambitions and friendships. These women experience new and challenging difficulties at the start of their new lives, as well as desires/needs – with low rent and psychological support being key.
