Abrigo Asas: Casa abrigo para mulheres em situação de violência doméstica

Abstract

Violence against women gained great visibility in the conjuncture of the covid-19 pandemic. Along with social isolation, there was a significant increase in the number of cases of domestic violence. The existing problem was wide open, reinforcing the deficiencies of our social construction, the macho and misogynist thinking and the vulnerability of the female figure, subject to psychological manipulation, financial control, among many other inequalities. The city of Barreiras has bodies that already work to combat domestic violence and violence against women. It is noted, however, that the municipality lacks an important element to strengthen the support network for women victims of violence, the shelter. This space is included in the socio-assistance services of special social protection of the high complexity, aiming to offer “institutional reception service for women in situations of violence” (CNAS Resolution nº. 109, of November 11, 2009). The shelter home is essential to structure women at risk of death and allow them to have time and space to strengthen themselves and make new choices. Therefore, the present work proposes to develop the architectural project of Casa Abrigo for the city of Barreiras, in view of the confirmed existing demand in the state and region. The incorporation of this project would increase support for women in vulnerable situations, contributing to the minimization of harm to women exposed to violence and in a life-threatening situation, providing them and their dependents with the conditions to overcome trauma and take on new heights.
