Abstract

This article analyzes treatment for female victims of sexual violence, with a focus on partnerships between government and the organized women's movement. The central references are the specific literature and testimony by key social actors who have participated in this process. The results show that despite the real and symbolic importance of care for rape victims, the government and the women's movement have not succeeded in guaranteeing the expansion of these services or adequately linking the discussion of sexual violence to women's right to abortion under any circumstances. It is thus necessary to step up the measures on this agenda.

Summary

Introduction

O revigoramento do movimento feminista na década de 60 traz para o debate público temas até então referidos ao âmbito privado, como a sexualidade e os usos dos corpos das mulheres, demandando que o Estado, por meio de suas políticas, incorpore as reivindicações das mulheres.
