Principle of equality and gender violence

Abstract

The constitutional principle of equality, included in article 5º, caput of the Federal Constitution of 1988, is a legal framework in the Brazilian legal system, when it was inserted in the Fundamental Rights chapter, it was raised as a supreme and founding value of constitutional legislation, carrying a high degree of imperativity, whose violation results in illegality and / or unconstitutionality. This principle brings, with its interpretation, that people placed in different situations are treated unevenly. It appears that formal equality is far away from the reality we are inserted, when comparing the relationships between men and women, which is demonstrated by the high rates of violent practices that women experience daily. Such acts, end up annihilating one of the fundamental ethical values of our humanity, which is life. In the intended act of creating life, aimed at making it dignified and healthy, in all its dimensions of Being and Coexisting and in the care of the Self and the Others, they are considered as essentials in the transformation of the exclusionary and unequal structures of society. Starting from this constitutional principle, and using the literature review as a method, the present text has as objective to discourse about how the interpersonal gender relations are presented in society, exposing the project entitled Circu(LAR), as an innovative experience on violence superation. And, in this sense, the groups and movements of civil society and communities, are essential elements, and aggregators of spaces / time that make it possible to look at feelings, anguish and share of experiences, emotions and affections in the search to overcome and transform this reality, constituting the fulfillment of the dreamed Hope defended by Pope Franscisco (Fratelli Tutti).
