SILVA, Grasiele Rosvadoski da  and  ANTUNES, Maria Cristina. The discourse of women in a program to prevent violence at a university. Bol. - Acad. Paul. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.104, pp.64-76.  Epub Nov 22, 2024. ISSN 1415-711X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2176-3038.20230007.

The objective of this research was to describe the participants’ discourse of a program to prevent violence against women by intimate partners at a private university in the south of Brazil. The workshops were developed into six two-hour meetings on the following topics: gender norms, sexuality, family domestic violence, types of violence and support network. Interventions were recorded and a dense description of the content was performed. Content analysis pointed to two categories in the discourse. In the first, Tradition and Disinformation, the following subcategories were obtained: The limitation of identity by sexist logic; Exclusive responsibility for domestic activities; The unworthiness of women in the workplace. The second category was the Weakness of the safety network. The work showed the importance of debate and the adoption of a psychological practice for the recognition of the phenomenon of violence, in which tradition and misinformation are elements of a patriarchal culture, as well as the fragility of the protection network.

Keywords : violence; women; intimate partner; prevention.
