Análise da influência dos valores culturais na busca pelo atendimento integrado pelo homem vítima de violência doméstica no CAIVV - Ndlavela

Abstract

Domestic violence against men is a reality that is often silenced and little explored. This study analyses the influence of cultural values ​​on the search for integrated care by men who are victims of domestic violence at the Integrated Care Centre (CAI) for victims of violence in Ndlavela. The study was qualitative in nature, using structured interviews as a data collection instrument. Four men, users of the CAI in Ndlavela, participated in the study, using non-probabilistic sampling for accessibility. The information was analysed using Bardin's (1977) content analysis technique. The results highlighted the persistence of gender stereotypes that discourage abused men from seeking help, fuelling the idea that masculinity is linked to invulnerability. As a solution, awareness-raising strategies that respect local cultural values ​​are proposed, including educational campaigns and lectures. These approaches aim to challenge harmful norms, promote a broader understanding of domestic violence and encourage men to overcome the stigma associated with seeking help(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
