O enfrentamento à violência contra as mulheres com deficiência na associação de pais e amigos dos excepcionais (apae) e na associação paraense das pessoas com deficiência (appd)

Abstract

The social movements of people with disabilities were essential for the achievement of protective norms for these people at an international and national level. The organizations of these movements and their construction in associations and entities promoted more rights and public policies of social participation for the disabled population. Based on the contributions of feminists, new categories associated with disability began to be discussed, such as gender, class and race, generating an intersectional perspective. In this sense, based on the serious problem of violence against women with disabilities, the research sought to understand how the Association of People with Disabilities from Pará (APPD) and the Association of Parents and Friends of the Handicapped (APAE) have acted in the fight against violence against women with disabilities. Therefore, the research was based on the inductive method from a qualitative perspective, based on bibliographic and documentary studies. The survey also included interviews with professionals from both associations to analyze the history and specificities of their actions with people with disabilities, especially women with disabilities who are victims of violence. Based on the Content Analysis, it was found, among other aspects, that both associations daily assist women with disabilities and their caregivers who have experienced various types of violence, despite this, it was understood that the theme of violence against women with disabilities is not part of a structured front in associations for the defense of people with disabilities in the state of Pará.
