Abstract

Although it is increasingly debated by the media, NGOs, institutions, public spaces and others, violence against women is still a sad reality that plagues not only our country, but the whole world.

According to the United Nations, at least one third of women have already suffered from some type of violence. With the Covid-19 pandemic and the social isolation imposed by health measures, this number became even more worrying.

The Brazilian Public Security Forum, in partnership with Datafolha, pointed out that 1 in 4 Brazilian women over 16 years old, that is, around 17 million women, claimed to have suffered some form of violence during the pandemic. Also, 5 out of 10 Brazilians reported having witnessed some type of violence against women in their neighborhood or community.

How do different types of violence impact the mental health of the victim? And in the family? What treatment should be given to these women? These and other questions will be answered on the special ABP TV Women's Day.
