Abstract

This text  aims to promote a reflection on gender violence, its types, signs of vulnerability and ways of coping in an educational space, reaching mainly women in situations of violence. It’s an experience report on an observational research, having its relevance in the opportunity to discuss violence, providing reflections for the empowerment of this people, in order to have reflections on their lives and society. Making speech spaces available for people to identify themselves in their behavior in face of violence is extremely important. The discussions arose from the theme “Gender violence: implications for the future”, with users of the Educational Center for Continuing Education (CESEC), in the city from Triângulo Mineiro, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Through the exposure of events passed by those involved and, after the action was taken, the need to transmit knowledge on the subject to this target audience became evident in order to recognize situations of violence and their forms of denunciation. it is concluded that violence against women leads to negative feelings such as humiliation and guilt. The naturalization of this process makes it difficult to face such violent scenarios, demonstrating how much the violence is veiled in our environment.
