Violência sexual contra a mulher na cidade de Maputo – trajectórias e combates de uma realidade escondida

Abstract

Rape against women is an extremely delicate subject, because it involves addressing intimate matters about people's sexual lives, a situation that generates shame, indignation and a lot of pain for family members when they admit to exposing the aggressors who, in most cases, are members of their family. With emphasis on the case study based on the KaMavota District, the work shows the impact of rape that widely affects women. Through a qualitative approach through interviews, it was possible to understand the causes, the actors and the responses that are given by the authorities in the fight against this type of evil. Likewise, the work highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach in understanding a phenomenon that tends to be forgotten or made invisible. Additionally, rape against women is a crime that occurs in any social class, involving people with different educational levels and always results in significant harm to the victim(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
