“Você sabia que se isso acontecesse você estaria sozinha": da violência de gênero intrafamiliar no processo de entrega de filhos em adoção

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the consequences of the act of handing over a child in adoption in the lives of women, specifically examining the intrafamily violence suffered by these mothers. Discussing critically how patriarchy as a system of social relations was structured and institutionalized the patriarchal family resulting in direct implications for the control of sexuality and women's bodies leads us to the understanding that motherhood was ideologically remodeled depending on historical time and interest of the ruling class. For methodological purposes, bibliographic research and semi-structured interviews were conducted with a guiding script. The data collected point to the fact that the alleged reasons for voluntary or compulsory adoption go beyond economic determinants. In this study, among other factors, intrafamily gender violence is one of the predominant factors for delivery in adoption among the women interviewed, and it is from this perspective that the social feelings of guilt and shame that have been socially constructed and are used as a way of controlling women, which makes them feel a distraught part of society.
