REFLECTIONS OF BRAZILIAN STRUCTURAL CHAUVINISM IN THE TIME OF COVID 19: when social distance is as lethal as the virus
Abstract
This article is based on a bibliographical research conducted by means of the exploratory methodology arising from an analysis of domestic violence data in pandemic times, the number of complaints made regarding domestic violence increased 34% between March and April this year compared to the same period last year, according to recent data that will be discussed in this production. This exponential increase in cases of aggression and feminicides reaffirms the preponderance of abusive relationships in Brazil and the extent to which the culture of silence of victims of violence is still latent and structurally constructed. From the words like “in a fight between husband and wife, no one gets to pick it up until“ they get beaten because they like it because they want to ”. In this pandemic scenario, in which social distance is the WHO's primary guideline, the silence of these women and the consequent removal of friends and close relatives effectively becomes the biggest accomplice in gender violence.
