Violência psicológica contra a mulher

Abstract

With every passing day, violence reduces the lives of thousands of people around the world and with that, harms the lives of many others. It has no notion of geographical boundaries, age, race or income, thus reaching young people, children, women and the elderly. For every person who dies due to violence many others are injured or suffer due to various physical, sexual, reproductive and mental problems. This article will dealt with psychological violence against women worldwide and specifically in Brazil, that we seek, through bibliographical references, to investigate and give visibility to the psychological violence of the most varied forms of oppression of female sex, which, due to their characteristic camouflaged in attitudes that do not link to the conception of violence, constitutes a serious public health problem that deserves attention of society, because different from what the citizens imagine, it is not necessary for women to be physically attacked to be in a violent relationship. when thinking about such issues, it is important to know that the law protects women not only from aggressions that leave perceptible marks on their skin, but also from those that hurt self-esteem, intimidate their actions, ridicule and limit their rights as a citizen and a woman.
