A violência doméstica contra a mulher: um desafio à filosofia e à teologia no Brasil

Abstract

Law no. 11.340, named Maria da Penha Law, was enacted in Brazil in August 7, 2006, due to the historical struggles of feminists, women's movements and meeting international commitments made by the State in favor of women's rights. Brazil is recognized as one of the most dangerous places for women to live, where domestic violence and sexism are a terribly real. Not by chance Brazilian feminist philosopher and theologian Ivone Gebara states that feminists have not worked sufficiently religious chains of the popular media, which are chains that oppress and comfort at the same time and that cannot be a feminist by ignoring women's religious membership. As Hunt believes the deal with violence against women is a complex issue that can only be overcome by working together. So it is urgent finding communities where resistance and transformation in other faith traditions and even outside of religion as possible. Is therefore a challenge that confronts Theology and Philosophy in Brazil and has been assumed by Ivone Gebara, in her book titled Phenomenology of Evil: This is an existential phenomenology from speech about a particular experience, ie the experience of women, and Sueli Carneiro, in her thesis named The construction of the other as non-being as ground of being. Her thesis enhancing gender analysis with the device raciality / biopower, highlights the epistemicide, which black women are the most affected.
