ENTRE A NORMA E A REALIDADE: uma abordagem das violências contra as mulheres Kaiowá e Guarani em contexto de mobilidade

Abstract

Does the creation of the Maria da Penha Law alone guarantee effective assistance for all women, regardless of their sociocultural context? This is the main question I ask myself when entering this research field, especially considering that, in a common consensus within Brazilian society, the idea that the victim chooses to be in a situation of violence still prevails. This line of thought ends up blaming the woman and neglecting the seriousness of her complaint. The present work was proposed, based on bibliographic research, to discuss violence against indigenous women, a broad concept that encompasses all forms of violence directed at a woman, specifically based on gender. This violence can occur within the domestic and family environment, in the workplace, in public spaces, in care institutions, and in other social contexts. Regarding the methodology, I sought to analyze the proposals and the reality as "body-territory" in the latest publications of the Great Assembly of Kaiowá and Guarani Women – Kuñangue Aty Guasu. This was to understand when it highlights its role as a collective movement with the objective of decolonizing multimedia and fighting for their constitutional and original rights. It is important to emphasize that, at the time of the law's creation and other assistance agendas, indigenous women were neither consulted nor had their ethnic specificities taken into consideration. This lack of inclusion hinders assistance to these women due to their cultural specificities, which were not contemplated in existing policies. Without the development of agendas that debate these issues more comprehensively, the law, by itself, is not sufficient to effectively welcome and protect these women.
