Abstract

Violence committed against women's bodies represents one of the most sensitive issues to be discussed and faced by society. In this sense, we aim to identify as spatialities of gender violence from the perspective of a feminist Geography, on a local scale - in the municipality of São Gonçalo (RJ). We recognize the need to make visible an issue that affects women all over the world: the multiple forms of violence against their bodies. Our theoretical option apprehends the body as a scale, in a geographical way to problematize as multiple scales that permeate the private space, such as domestic violence, but which expand in face of the circulation of this body in the city. The methodology consists of data observation, which dialogues with a bibliographic survey, together with data prepared by the Public Security Institute - ISP, in the documents of the Women's Dossier between the years 2004 and 2018. With this, we observe the spatiality of these women's bodies in heterosexual relationships between cisgender people in the city of São Gonçalo. Judicial concerns in the sense of understanding the importance of identifying the processes that contribute to placing women in this place at the mercy of violence that becomes, therefore, gendered. Analyzed together with the theoretical-conceptual elements of Geography, together with the reflection on the historical-geographic processes that contributed to this social phenomenon. Therefore, the female body is a geographic scale of struggle that, when experiencing domestic violence by their partners, becomes a marker of / in spaces of struggle in transition to access spaces for protection and care in the city.
