Abstract

There is a variety of violence that women are subjected to before, during and after borders. Most of the violence that is recorded in the reports concerns violence that is expressed in the body, the same that is taken into account in the eligibility process, however there is silent violence that refugee women experience and that are not considered. Post-border, in a foreign country, when they suffer some type of violence they tend not to report it or seek help. Refugee women’s access to justice is difficult and many fear being deported. In addition, the lack of a support network and distrust in institutions and the State contribute to increasing the vulnerability of these women to another type of violence, domestic violence, and makes them experience a type of “double guilt” for being refugees. and women. The ongoing research collected data on protection calls to Brazilian women and found that foreign women reported domestic violence. To understand the dynamics of domestic violence in the context of the refuge, interviews are underway with Venezuelan women who are victims of domestic violence perpetrated by an intimate partner in Brazilian territory. The research focuses on a specific type of violence by finding a gap in the existing literature and on a nationality that is found in greater numbers in Brazil.
