Abstract:

This article presents the social network configuration of women living in situation of domestic violence, in a city in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. It was done interviews with 9 users and 8 professionals besides observation in three institutions which constitute the network for protecting women. The analysis was supported by the theoretical assumptions of social networks developed by Martins (2008)¹ and the domestic violence conception under the Law Maria da Penha (Law 11.340/06)². Results show that the violence foisted on women by their partners make them unable to establish and maintain social bonds, and thus facing isolation and weakness. Professionals and institutions can play a key role by preventing them from being out of the violence cycle since networks and care services are well organized. Further studies of social networks, focusing on the nature of the links and exchanges among actors are welcome for enlarging the knowledge about the relationship dynamics in violence situation.
