Relacionamento abusivo na adolescência: Uma grande reportagem sobre os impactos emocionais causados por uma violência silenciosa

Abstract

This report aims to give voice to the pain, trauma, and anguish that women carry after experiencing abusive relationships during adolescence, highlighting how deeply rooted machismo is in society and how it manifests from an early age. Four women who suffered different forms of abuse during their teenage years were interviewed, offering a deep immersion into their stories and the main traumas that marked their lives. In-depth research combined with data collection reveals that many women still fear reporting abuse, enduring violence disguised as love for days, months, or even years. With the alarming rise in femicide and violence against women in Brazil, this work seeks to contribute to the early identification of abusers and raise awareness that violence against women is not limited to adulthood. The results underscore the importance of journalism that values women's voices and ensures coverage that promotes gender equality, while also reinforcing the need for effective public policies to protect women's rights.
