Violence Against Women and Pastoral Counseling

In spite of the fact that the female population in Brazil is more than 100 million and even in the face of the increasing participation of women in the labor market and in various segments such as politics, academia, sports, etc., they continue to be victims of violence. There are several types of violence to which women are submitted indistinctly of social class. This problem has been faced for a long time by society and the State, which have not forgotten efforts to create public policies aimed at combating this type of violence. Progress has been observed in the sense of minimizing violence and its equally harmful consequences, but it is very far from the ideal, which would be the eradication of such brutality against women. It is an issue much debated over the years, but with great joy I received this work that addresses such an old problem but on a new perspective, namely, extending the responsibility of combating violence also the evangelical churches.
