Abstract(s)
A comunidade LGBTI+, enquanto vítima de violência doméstica, é ainda
um tema recente em Portugal, por vezes controverso, por vezes silenciado e por
outras vezes, menosprezado. Sendo ainda um tema pouco falado, é necessário
ser pesquisado, assimilado e partilhado e hoje, procuro recolher informações
sobre desmistificar o que ainda não se sabe. Pretendo entender a dimensão
deste tema e interpretar de que forma é que as estruturas existentes atuam
consoante as necessidades das vítimas. Indagar-se-á se as vítimas aceitam a
ajuda, se procuram, se se sentem protegidas ou se, limitam-se a ficar silenciadas
devido ao constrangimento social ainda presente.
Através de literatura existente, de contactos, i.e., diretores técnicos
responsáveis, nomeadamente, da Casa Arco-Íris (Matosinhos), técnicos de
apoio à vítima (ILGA e Casa Qui), inquéritos por entrevista a membros da
comunidade LGBTI+ que tenham necessitado deste apoio e juntamente, com o
apoio de algumas entidades e indivíduos indispensáveis a esta pesquisa,
procura-se compreender de que forma as vítimas LGBTI+ se sentem ou não
apoiados/as com as infraestruturas (in)existentes, a resposta do sistema face a
estas situações e como é que Portugal (o Estado e o seio familiar/amigos/as)
contempla vitimação terciária.
O objetivo último da ciência é descrever e explicar, isto é, a tarefa do
cientista consiste em obter uma perceção da realidade de forma a esclarecer e
antecipar novos fenómenos (Pinto, 1990). Tendo em conta esta ideia, interessa
desconstruir este tema, decifrar uma verdade escondida, descobrir de que forma
é que Portugal – através de centros de acolhimento e de atendimento, serviços
de saúde e de assistência social, os OPC’s e o modus operandi do sistema -
consegue dar resposta face a estas situações. Estaremos nós atrasados ou
adiantados? Será que a comunidade LGBTI+ se sente segura tanto na
prevenção como na intervenção?
The LGBTI+ community perceived as a group that is a victim of domestic violence is still a controversial topic in Portugal. It is a theme often underappreciated. Consequently, it is necessary to research, assimilate, and share information to demystify unknown knowledge. I aim to understand the extent of this issue and interpret how existing structures respond to the needs of victims. I will investigate whether the victims accept assistance, seek help, feel protected, or simply remain silent due to the still-present social constraints. Through existing literature, contacts, i.e., responsible technical directors, notably from Casa Arco-Íris (Matosinhos), victim support technicians (ILGA and Casa Qui), interviews with members of the LGBTI+ community who have needed this support, and with the support of essential entities and individuals for this research, I seek to understand how LGBTI+ victims feel supported or unsupported with existing (or non-existent) infrastructures. Additionally, I aim to comprehend how the system responds to these situations and how Portugal (the State and the familial/friend environment) addresses tertiary victimization. Science aims to describe and explain since the scientist endeavours to gain insight into reality to clarify and anticipate new phenomena (Pinto, 1990). Hence, my interest lies in clarifying this theme, uncovering a hidden truth, and discovering how Portugal—through shelters, health and social assistance services, NGOs, and the system's modus operandi—responds to these situations. Are we lagging or ahead? Does the LGBTI+ community feel secure in both prevention and intervention?
