| Descricão e Informacões Adicionais | Defining domestic violence in Brazil requires looking at a wide spectrum of issues across communities. They range from rape, beatings, and insults faced by women at one end, to husbands not getting their meals on time at the other end. Some wives are beaten for not accepting bizarre sexual proposals; others are not allowed to complain when they face unemployed husbands who do not have enough money for the household. Most women, when they discover that their husband has caught a sexually transmitted disease, refuse them sexually. They are then deprived of food and are sometimes forced out of the house. Besides enduring the husband s infidelity, the women face aggressiveness and drug abuse stemming from a higher rate of male unemployment. |
| Descricão e Informacões Adicionais(en) | The concepts of oppression, dominance, and violence may be among the ways poor people analyze the context of their lives. The World Bank emphasizes that [d]isparities between men and women in basic rights, access to resources, and power exist in all countries of the world, although the extent and nature of these disparities vary across countries. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, poor people could not cope with all the adversities in life to bring better living conditions and reduce dominance and violence patterns. Brazilian women were subordinated to male power; they lacked a language, they needed to gain some control which would allow them to change their roles in political groups. Alvarez also says that even though these Brazilian women felt voiceless in a political context and were unable to express their resentment, they started helping poor and working-class women to articulate their demands for improved urban infrastructure, schools, health care, and political participation. |
