Violência de gênero na Universidade Federal de Pelotas/UFPel: mestras em Direito/ mestras em Educação e ações educativas

Abstract

Violence against women is a social ill that affects spaces of social life, including the higher education environment. However, the university, also through research, can present ideas capable of preventing/suppressing this type of violence. In this context, this research analyzes, through a questionnaire applied to master's graduates from the Graduate Programs in Law and Education, both from the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), how these researchers understand and propose educational actions capable of contributing to the fight against gender violence in the university context. In terms of theoretical support, the present study was organized into two chapters: "Gender violence: contextualization and scope" and "Right to education: Educational actions and the fight against violence". In the first chapter, aspects related to gender violence are presented, through the contextualization of highlights in the theme and, subsequently, discussion about the consequences of this violence in the university environment. In the second chapter, on the other hand, the legal contextualization of the right to education, the types of education and higher education are worked, with a focus on educational actions and the construction of an inclusive education. In terms of methodological scope, this is a qualitative research with a questionnaire application and content analysis. Finally, the result, analysis and discussion of the research carried out are presented, which concludes, among other results, that the promotion of awareness, through educational actions, is essential to combat violence and promote gender equality in higher education.
