Violence against women: a gender inequality ratified by society

This paper raises a reflection on the violence perpetrated against women. An important point regarding violence against women is the relentless pursuit by society of the victim's prior attitude in an attempt to find in their attitudes the cause and / or explanation for the violence suffered. Therefore, the analysis was carried out from the perspective of patriarchal culture, since from this we come across as heirs of a differentiated education based on differences and inequality. Thus, the main objective of the present study was to investigate the social discourses directed at women victims of violence. In methodological terms, we opted for quantitative research and, for the collection of empirical data, 100 previously structured questionnaires were applied with 50 women and 50 men, with different ages, marital status, education and socioeconomic conditions. Subsequently, from the statistical analysis, the non-quantifiable facts were interpreted. In addition, our research was also bibliographic, which allowed us to dialogue with important theorists that address the subject. Finally, the results obtained allowed us to see the great influence of patriarchal ideals, which, even today, are present in social discourses.
