Avaliação em profundidade da política de promoção à autonomia econômica implementada pela casa da mulher brasileira de Fortaleza-Ceará

Abstract

Among the numerous factors that seek to explain the phenomenon of domestic violence against women, it is possible to observe aspects of emotional dependence and economic dependence of women in relation to their aggressors. Considering this perspective and understanding that these are relevant issues for the present study, this research will focus on the economic aspect associated with the figure of women within violent relationships. It is understood that state actions aimed exclusively at punishing the aggressor are not sufficient for breaking the cycle of violence, making it essential to bring the figure of women as protagonists of initiatives against this type of violence. From this perspective, the Brazilian Women's House (Casa da Mulher Brasileira), as a public policy arising from the "Women: Living Without Violence" Program, sanctioned by the Federal Government in 2013, plays a fundamental role in building the network to combat violence against women, as it generally provides comprehensive support to women in this type of situation. Considering the economic perspective, this research proposes to evaluate the policy for promoting economic autonomy, which provides reception, training, professional qualification, and guidance for the insertion of women in ituations of violence into the labor market, collaborating so that they achieve autonomy and, consequently, break the cycle of violence. This study is situated in the field of Public Policy Evaluation and aims to analyze how the policy actions are implemented in the lives of women assisted by it. To carry out this research, the approach used will be In-Depth Evaluation, which presupposes evaluation as knowledge production, in addition to enabling an interdisciplinary and multidimensional character, required in the analysis of such policy due to the complexity of the theme. This type of evaluation considers the subjectivity of subjects as a relevant element, in addition to factors such as context, trajectory, content, temporal and territorial aspects, which go beyond the technical dimension. From a methodological point of view, this research has a qualitative nature and will include the development of documentary, content, and bibliographic analyses. To guide the analyses, this research starts from the following inquiry: how do the actions of the Economic Autonomy Promotion Policy, which deals with the issue of financial ependence, take effect in the lives of women assisted by the Brazilian Women's House of Fortaleza – Ceará, and what are their consequences for breaking the cycle of violence?
